Gold

In a dystopian near future with social and environmental breakdown, two unnamed individuals discover an enormous nugget of gold in an inhospitable desert. They try to extract it using basic tools and their truck, but fail. One agrees to leave to find excavation equipment, while the other (Efron) stays to guard the claim. The main plot turns around Efron's long wait for his partner, in communication briefly by radio, and his struggle to survive with diminishing supplies and while enduring storms, lack of food and water, and an encounter with Susie Porter's character, 'The Stranger'. Porter begins to follow Efron and question his reasoning to be out in the desert. As he starts becoming paranoid, Efron kills Porter. Later, Efron is greeted by another unknown woman. Efron is becoming weak as he awaits the other man’s return. Dogs begin to circle in on him, as he calls for help through the radio. As the dogs kill him, the other man patiently watches from a distance with the excavation equipment ready. The other man begins to load up the gold, but is suddenly shot through the heart with an arrow, assumed to be from the other unknown woman.
