Following the sudden and traumatic loss of his family in the early days of a virulent plague, Carter retreats into the desert, hiding away from what remains of the world. But when a lost girl arrives at his door seeking help, he must confront old wounds and find a way to finally heal... Or bleed out.

While on a venture to satisfy his hunger, Chris (a fuzzy purple puppet) gets wrapped up with two criminals with more violent means of accomplishing the same goal.
