Synopsis

For years the government has sought to eradicate those who love in the way that Roan does. After being taken, imprisoned, and tortured, he is now returned home to his mother, Julia. But the sentence is clear: she has but one hour to end her son's life or face the consequences for her and her entire family.

A beautifully rendered, spare apocalyptic-yet-eerily-familiar world is captured wonderfully here in this tightly focused piece. This reads both like a cautionary parable and a tense two-hander.
— Nick Malakhow, NPX
