In a juvenile detention centre, Madi and his younger brother Bright try to fight the daily injustice perpetrated by their supervisors. One day Amel shows up and her mysterious behaviour and beauty have a significant impact on the brothers. After Bright is assaulted by a supervisor, he and some other inmates set a trap to get revenge. Madi arrives too late to prevent his brother and the youths from committing this act of violence, and the frightened teens disappear into the surrounding woods to escape further punishment. Left to their own devices, hungry and thirsty, they go further into the wilderness each day and are increasingly aware of the dangerous situation they are in. Will they find the strength to survive? What will this newfound freedom reveal about themselves?
