Full synopsis

In this desolate land stripped of life and hope, a twelve-year-old boy has, against all odds, spent the last decade surviving alone. His name is the only constant he clings to—a fragile thread that ties him to his identity.

When a fateful encounter with an old man challenges his solitude, an unlikely bond begins to form, redefining what it means to live rather than merely exist. The boy faces a choice: risk companionship or cling to the survival rules his brother taught him years ago.

But the harsh reality of survival tears the boy’s world apart once again, plunging him into the merciless grip of The Centre—an organisation that strips him of his humanity. As the now-teenager endures unimaginable loss and pain, he grapples with questions of identity, love, and what it truly means to be human.

With everything on the line, a chance of escape sparks hope. Led by a mysterious figure who stirs feelings the teenager has no words for, together, they risk everything for a future that may not exist. Do they dare to defy despair with the fragile power of hope?
