This is a climate change dystopian future. Wil is on her own. Her mom and drug dealer boyfriend left her in charge of the grow farm so they could find a better future in California. Spring hasn’t come in the last couple years and it’s become harder and harder to eke out a living. 

This mix between The Road and Station Eleven explores the different ways humans might react to the societal impact of extreme climate change.
