The Run
In a dystopian, post-pandemic world crippled by a global fertility crisis, an ageing smuggler struggles to protect a runaway teenager and her newborn baby from ruthless criminals, while trying to complete his run for his vicious employers.
The Run is a gripping dystopian thriller set in the near-future, where Australia is ravaged by global lockdowns and a mysterious infertility crisis. Mac, an ageing smuggler with a tragic past, survives by reluctantly transporting contraband for his syndicate employers. His solitary life changes forever when he meets Aliah, a teenager fleeing ruthless captors. Aliah is carrying a precious cargo - the first infant born in years. When he discovers that his true mission is to deliver the child to his brutal employers, Mac faces a harrowing choice between loyalty and redemption. Together, Mac and Aliah form an uneasy bond, fighting violent pursuers and risking everything to protect humanity’s last beacon of hope.
