“A story about rebuilding connection after civilization collapses. A symbolic figure gives scattered survivors hope for communication, order and a shared future.”
“Kevin Costner’s sweeping tale of restoring societal faith, connection, and order through the power of postal letters.”
Storyline
In 2013, there are no highways, no I-ways, no dreams of a better tomorrow, only scattered survivors across what was once the United States. Into this apocalyptic wasteland comes an enigmatic drifter with a mule, a knack for Shakespeare, and something yet undiscovered: the power to inspire hope.
