Plots(1)
In a post-apocalyptic, kill-or-be-killed world where starvation is rife and strangers are always dangerous, The Survivalist lives hidden deep in forest, protecting his crop from intruders with his shotgun and improvised traps. But the long years alone have taken their toll on him, and he is beginning to lose his grip on reality. Everything changes when a starving woman and her teenage daughter discover the farm. Desperate for food and board, the mother offers up her daughter to spend the night with him in return for bed and board. Overcome with desire, Survivalist breaks his strict code of self-preservation and accepts them into his cabin. But the exchange becomes an uneasy, ongoing arrangement which threatens not only his carefully constructed world but also his life. (Cinemax)
