Investigating the “infrastructure” of the landscape of Australia's Arid Zone, focusing on an area stigmatized by recent human intervention, the film re-signifies it by means of a science fiction narrative about time, which resonates indirectly with Australia’s colonial history & the omnipresence of the mining industry.
In the aftermath of the Great Temporal Catastrophe, an apocalyptic event that brought an end to linear time, the company CTF (Collective Time Flow) developed a technology to extract crude time and process it into a quantifiable commodity, reinstating a new era of human history and civilization.
We follow Larry Church, an unruly worker for CTF, stationed in an outpost at the edge of the Desynchronized Zone, the uncharted territories prone to temporal disturbances. and the repository of raw time reserves. Transgressing his mission order, in a attempt to garner some raw time for himself, he takes his chances and ventures beyond the grid.

As a result the film is a “dérive”, a layered journey, that lets us take a glimpse into a world where time itself has become a coveted and dangerous, if merely fabulated, commodity.
