In trying to break from the controlling influences around them this youthful survival group search for some kind of higher truth and authenticity. In a wilderness increasingly founded on man made things, they seek to reconnect with their roots. They attempt to find new kinds of survival crafts and rituals with venture and bite in a wilderness of subversive narratives epic struggles immeasurable evil, small cars, shiny iPods, quarter pounders with double cheese and bacon..
