What it’s about

Abandoned by a modernizing military, veteran Emmett Lee wanders the countryside in search of replacement parts for his obsolete military-issue prosthetics. Each step is made more difficult by his failing battery and corrupted memory files. Emmett finds himself at the mercy of Rebecca Clark, a widower struggling to keep her farm afloat with the help of her rebellious daughter Carly.

As Emmett quickly discovers, all but the most stubborn townspeople have been driven out of business by agritech behemoth Chem-O-Grow and its ruthless enforcer Arlin Frey. Chem-O-Grow’s genetically engineered soy plants have poisoned the soil so only their seeds will survive. As the company price-gouges what few independent farms remain, Arlin squeezes the destitute farmers for protection money which he uses to pay for his own extreme body modifications.

Bonding over their similar plights against corporate and governmental corruption, a friendship grows between Emmett and the Clarks — and soon, a plan forms. With the help of a few brave neighbors, Emmett and Rebecca undertake a dangerous scheme to free the town from Chem-O-Grow and its cruel enforcer Arlin Frey once and for all.

But Arlin won’t go down without a fight. Despite obsolete prosthetics and failing implants, Emmett must face the more advanced Arlin to save Rebecca’s farm and the town.
