Babylon

This apocalyptic retelling of the book of Daniel begins one year after a plague called the Red Death wipes out two-thirds of the American population. Borders and airports have closed, and the country has been left to die by itself. While rumors of an antidote north of the border circulate, sanctuary cities emerge as protection for those who can afford it, and those with valuable skills are placed in higher and higher demand. A murdered politician's son crowns himself gatekeeper of a secluded mountain town called Flagship, and it's there that we meet captive brothers Leonidas and Jonah. As they work alongside their fellow prisoners to escape and take revenge on their captor, we face with them questions of masculinity, brotherhood, addiction, grief, and how we hold our humanity in the presence of wolves.
