In the future the Sino-Gazam company mines in the Northwest US and Canada. It is foreign owned and for some reason is allowed to violate all environmental laws. Their mining causes earthquakes or tremors which didn't weigh into the film. It also poisons the water and has caused a lung disease which is treated with pharmaceuticals instead of natural products.
The company needs people to make trips into and across the zone by vehicle because planes...well I don't know why they didn't fly, other than it wouldn't make for an interesting movie. Deke (Marshall Williams) and his brother Jesse (Leo Fafard) are coerced into making the trip into the grid to pick up a mystery package. The Grid is occupied by a gang known as Jackals (Jacks for short) who are also infected. They demand clean water to pass through.
This is an apocalyptic type action film. The truck has a thorium engine and I have no idea how a man at the other end of a radio can detect if it has a radiation leak and the levels. The plot wasn't solid. The script incorporates the issues with fracking and adds in big Pharma conspiracy theory as well as right-wing misinformation about the Uranium One deal where a foreign country takes complete ownership and operates unchecked. On top of that, the dialogue was forced and the acting couldn't support it.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity
