Film

Mainland

Fiction

Chris — a spirited but aimless man in his early 20’s — has left the confines of the city to spend the winter alone on a secluded island in Maine. Instead of spending his time being productive and thinking about his future, he prefers to goof around outdoors and generally not think too hard about anything at all. But, as the outside world begins to unravel into a confusing and seemingly dangerous chaos, his safe haven begins to feel anything but safe. Chris must quickly discover the inner strength to face the world, or risk becoming consumed by the very real threats closing in all around him.
