Synopsis

  • After a mysterious virus has left the world mostly in ruins, the remnants of humanity are cast into the depths of despair and lawlessness. Amid this apocalyptic chaos, two estranged brothers struggle to survive their dire circumstances.

    Dustin, a hardened survivor, has adapted to the brutality of this new existence with a pragmatic and ruthless approach. His life, defined by loss and the relentless pursuit of survival, has left little room for the remnants of his past, including his younger sibling Samuel, who, in contrast, despite the despair and destruction that surrounds him, holds onto a flicker of hope. His belief that humanity can rise above its darkest inclinations sets him apart in a world where such ideals seem obsolete.

    Bound by blood but divided by their approach to the new world order, they are forced to confront not only the external threats that lurk in the desolate landscape but also the internal conflicts that have kept them apart. As they navigate their fractured relationship, they encounter an unwelcome visitor who tests their loyalties and beliefs.

    "The Reckoning" is a tale of survival against the odds, but at its heart, it's about the enduring strength of family ties and the power of faith. As the brothers confront the moral complexities of their new reality, they are forced to question what they truly believe in and how much they are willing to sacrifice for each other. Amidst the backdrop of a world brought to its knees by an unseen enemy, the film explores themes of redemption, the resilience of the human spirit, and the quest for meaning in the face of oblivion.
