In a world ravaged by a nuclear holocaust, a father and his son cross a North American territory covered in ash on foot, pushing a cart with their few belongings. Hungry and hounded by cannibal gangs, they head south toward the sea, hoping to find the «good ones». Their bond and the father's resolve are the only remnant of humanity and civilization in a devastated landscape where the cold and desolation seem endless.
