Synopsis
Ilsa has fled Earth with her husband and daughter to settle on the harsh and arid terrain of a Martian outpost.

When a group of armed assailants appear on the surrounding hills and take the family hostage, mother and daughter are forced to adapt until it’s finally time to strike back. 

Sofia Boutella stars as Ilsa, a refugee from Earth who has settled with her husband, daughter Remmy and a domesticated robot on the harsh, arid terrain of a Martian outpost. A group of armed assailants attempts to run them off, revealing the desperate reality of their situation to Remmy.
