American Insurrection

A Right-wing militia group known as 'the Volunteers' has taken over the United States, enforcing strict control over the population. This regime focuses on targeting people who are Muslim, LGBTQ+, or undocumented, using tattoos as a mark of identification for these groups.

The Volunteers conduct a national census that culminates in a disturbing practice of tattooing those they deem 'unwanted.' This systematic discrimination fosters an atmosphere of fear among marginalized communities across the country.

Sarah and Jarret, a couple determined to escape, team up with their two friends, David and Zabi. They devise a plan to cross the heavily monitored border into Canada, seeking safety from the oppressive regime.

The group finds temporary refuge at the farm of a Volunteer named Gabe, whom they keep chained in his barn. While waiting for radio contact to confirm their escape route, they navigate challenges posed by their captor's surveillance.

While gathering supplies, Sarah stumbles upon a Volunteer checkpoint where they are brutalizing Arjay, a gay male branded with a neck tattoo. Being compassionate and brave, she intervenes and manages to rescue him from certain harm.

After rescuing Arjay, Sarah brings him back to the farm for medical attention. David, who is a nurse, takes charge of caring for Arjay as he recovers from his injuries, strengthening the bond among the group.

In a rare moment of respite, the group decides to enjoy a night of drinking alcohol. This leads to unexpected intimacy between David and Arjay as they share a kiss, revealing David's struggles with his closeted identity.

As the narrative unfolds, flashbacks delve into the histories of the characters, shedding light on how the harsh realities of the Volunteer regime have shaped their lives and decisions. These insights enhance the viewer's understanding of their motivations and traumas.

During intimate conversations, secrets begin to surface among the group, altering dynamics and exposing vulnerabilities. This growing tension reflects the weight of their circumstances and the burden of their past experiences.

As the Volunteers intensify their hunt for Arjay, the group realizes that their time is running out. With each passing moment, the stakes rise as they must find a way to escape before the militia discovers their hiding place.

The group faces an ultimatum when one of the Volunteers manages to infiltrate their refuge. They must decide whether to stand and fight for their lives or attempt a desperate escape under fire.

In a thrilling climax, Sarah, Jarret, David, Zabi, and Arjay must band together to confront the Volunteers. Their fight for survival tests their relationships and highlights their resolve to protect one another at all costs.

The group makes a break for the Canadian border in a high-stakes escape attempt. Navigating through wooded areas and avoiding checkpoints, their unity and determination shine amidst the adrenaline and fear.

Ultimately, against overwhelming odds, Sarah and her friends cross into Canadian territory, leaving behind the oppressive regime. This marks a poignant moment of relief and new beginnings amidst the trauma they endured.

Having escaped, the group reflects on their harrowing journey and the scars it left on them. In Canada, they start to rebuild their lives, embracing their identities and forging a future free from fear.
