Alone in the brutal landscape, Man One faces starvation, dehydration, and packs of predatory wild dogs. He also encounters a mysterious lone traveler who threatens his claim, leading to a desperate act of violence.

Joshi (Prithviraj), a mobile shop owner, buys a new SUV but finds a mysterious truck parked in front of his house, blocking his driveway. He soon discovers that the truck is abandoned and filled with hidden gold bars disguised as snack boxes.

In a desolate, "not too distant future" desert wasteland, two drifters—simply known as Man One (Zac Efron) and Man Two (Anthony Hayes)—stumble upon a massive gold nugget partially buried in the ground.

Directed by Anthony Hayes and starring Zac Efron, this film is a grim, minimalist story about the corrosive nature of greed.

Rather than calling the police, Joshi decides to keep the gold. The story follows his frantic and often comedic attempts to move and hide the massive haul while dealing with curious neighbors, persistent delivery men, and local thugs.
