We follow Ray (Cooper Hoffman) as he prepares himself to take “The Long Walk”, a yearly pilgrimage not to the holy land but something much more deathy. We find he’s living in a post apocalyptic type of world where many are going hungry, under or unemployed, and desperate for even a moment of joy, wishing for the impossible dream of winning the lottery or something like it. Only one man leaves The Long Walk alive, it has no end until the moment that singular survivor remains. Moving forward, always moving forward Ray and newly found friends Peter (David Jonsson), Baker (Tut Nyout) and Olsen (Ben Wang) while away the hours shooting the shit just so they don’t notice their hunger, weariness and fear.
