The Run

In a dystopian, post-pandemic world crippled by a global fertility crisis, an ageing smuggler struggles to protect a runaway teenager and her newborn baby from ruthless criminals, while trying complete his run for his vicious employers.

The Run is a gripping action thriller set in a cold, post-pandemic world that is crippled by perpetual lockdowns, border closures, and a tragic fertility crisis. Mac, an ageing, reclusive and reluctant smuggler is delivering mysterious contraband, when en route he finds himself begrudgingly helping Aliah, a runaway teenager, and her newborn baby – the first infant born in nearly two years. To further complicate matters, mid-way through, Mac realises that delivering the baby to nefarious buyers is his real mission. Together, against a ticking clock, the unlikely pair must learn to trust each other as they evade Aliah’s pursuers, a family of ruthless criminals, and make the pivotal choices that will take them to the salvation they seek and the redemption they need.
