Through an unlikely circumstance he meets a tough ex-marine called Bangley, to be played by Brolin, and they are forced to work together to navigate this dangerous and uncompromising new world.

One day, when a random transmission beams through the radio of Hig’s beloved Cessna plane, the voice ignites a hope deep inside the pilot that a new life may exist outside their tightly controlled perimeter.

Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return and follows its static-broken trail.” Also joining the cast are Josh Brolin and Guy Pearce. Margaret is set to portray Cima, a young doctor and daughter of a world-weary rancher, (Guy Pearce), who Hig meets along his fraught and life-changing journey. Paul Mescal was originally attached to star as Hig, but hit scheduling conflicts with the upcoming Beatles biopic.
