In the future, the Earth's natural ecology has collapsed. Genetic engineering has become a runaway problem. Human civilization has retreated to various city states known as Citadels. The rest are trying to survive in the dangerous wilderness. Vesper (Raffiella Chapman) is a teen girl alone caring for her sick father. She finds Citadel resident Camellia (Rosy McEwen) who survived a crash landing. Local leader Jonas (Eddie Marsan) rules over his family and his neighbors.
I like the designs and the world. The premise is fine sci-fi. There is potential for a good solid sci-fi small indie. Eddie Marsan delivers the powerful punch. His end is disappointing. The last act has some good and some bad. I can't help but feel that something more could be done. I would be happier if the final confrontation happens with Marsan. There is almost no need to get the Citadels involved. All in all, this is fine, but it is a bit slow.
