Winter 1862. In the midst of the Civil War, the US Army sends a company of volunteer soldiers to the western territories, with the task of patrolling the unchartered borderlands. As their mission ultimately changes course, the meaning behind their engagement begins to elude them.

VIBE

A desolate, slow-burn journey into the psychological toll of conflict. It feels heavy and reflective, exploring the erosion of purpose amidst a harsh, unforgiving landscape. The atmosphere is thick with existential dread and the quiet despair of men lost in a war without clear meaning.
