Plot

In 2050, sometime after a nuclear war, much of the ruling elite has succumbed to a disease that requires a transfusion of blood. Bands of militaristic, government-sanctioned band of nomads called the Warriors, led by the Baalca, forcibly use needles to extract healthy blood from unwilling females and deliver it to the rulers. Zak (Andrew MacGregor) and Iodine (Joe Maffei) are regarded as a subversive threat to the blood bank troops. Danielle (Melanie Kilgour) rescues loner Lucas (William Smith), who later returns the favor and assists her in assembling a group for her sister's rescue as they try to stop the blood harvesting.
