Western civilization collapses during an economic upheaval and water becomes scarce. Pestilence, violence and war drive people away from the cities. Mary and Joe survive in the sand-dunes, desalinating sea water with a ramshackle stil. They scavenge for insects and random crustaceans. Their love is but a faded memory…like the many comforts of their previous life. Then, invaders arrive. Valentino is a shark of a trader. Esmeralda is his accomplice and whore. One ill fated night in their company tears Mary & Joe apart. Ultimately, hidden truths emerge and Mary finds herself at her wit's end with only one way out.
Run time: 2 hours with a brief intermission.
