A sensory and cinematic work from the Sonoran Desert in the southern US, where a man lives in a lonely pact with a brutal nature and in the shadow of the apocalypse.

Plot

A SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME is a borderlands Western that follows Sundog, an eccentric recluse who lives off the land in the Sonoran Desert. As Border Patrol surveillance encroaches on his relative freedom, he becomes increasingly unnerved and ventures beyond the confines of his survivalism. With an unsettling fantasy of eco-terrorism, and with the first cinematic depiction of smoking a Sonoran toad's psychedelic venom, the complex figure of Sundog raises provocative questions about environmental justice and human survival amidst the specter of global collapse.
