In a post apocalyptic community surrounded by an ominous scar simply called ‘the border,’ one girl questions why everyone around her lives in constant fear. Joanna has grown up with her friend, Clyde, and has been taught to fear everything in the world. Especially the border that keeps them from exploring the rest of the world. Compelled by her curiosity, Joanna leaves her home to cross the border. Her journey makes her question everything she knows and wonder if the border is truly something to fear.
