Rumor has it there is still water there. Along the way they run into Tom (STIPE ERCEG), a first-rate mechanic that becomes indispensable. But can they trust him? Tension grows in the small group. As if things weren ́t bad enough, they are lured into an ambush. Their real battle for survival begins.
