Drifter

Miles and Dominic attempt to rob a store while on the run for vengeance. The store owner shoots Miles in the hand, and the brothers kill him. They press on, nursing their injuries as they drive into the desert.

Dominic improvises a bandage for Miles' wounded hand, and they rest for the night in the desert. The quiet, empty landscape mirrors their fragile bond as they push onward. Exhaustion tests their resolve.

Miles voices doubt about their mission, while Dominic threatens to abandon him to die in the desert. The moment strains their relationship, but they reconcile and decide to keep moving toward their goal.

While Miles sleeps in the car, several gunmen ambush them, intending to kill Miles and steal the car. Dominic returns just in time and kills all three attackers, ending the immediate threat.

The brothers reach a small town and encounter an old man who initially helps before puncturing a tire with a knife. Dominic beats him, and Vijah intervenes, guiding them toward safety at her house.

In Vijah's house, she treats Miles and explains that the town's leader Doyle is dangerous. She urges them to stay indoors for safety, but Dominic ignores the warning.

Dominic explores the town ruins and meets Sasha, who seduces him. Her boyfriend Latos arrives, leading to a confrontation as Dominic's independence clashes with the gang's control.

Latos defeats Dominic with a baseball bat while Miles and Vijah watch. Doyle then steps in and kills Dominic, a brutal act that shatters the brothers' bond.

Doyle questions Miles about trespass and refuses to cooperate, while his gang taunts Vijah. Doyle slashes Vijah's ear to teach loyalty, escalating the town's brutality.

Latos visits Miles with food as a veiled threat, hinting at joining the gang. Vijah later visits Miles and gives him a shard of glass, a silent symbol of danger and resolve.

Doyle invites everyone to a dinner that deteriorates into a grim display of power. Miles discovers Dominic's head on a platter, fueling his fury as the gang mocks and eats.

During the dinner, Miles uses a shard to stab Sasha, triggering a brutal brawl. Latos attacks Miles, and Vijah kills Latos to halt the onslaught, though a surviving gang member seizes her as a hostage.

Doyle kills the surviving attacker and takes Vijah hostage. Miles shoots Vijah and Doyle in the gut; both die, ending the violent confrontation. He then approaches the old man from earlier, who is eating Dominic's flesh.

Miles lowers the gun, deciding not to kill the man who has been eating Dominic's flesh. He tenderly closes Vijah's eyes in memory and walks away, leaving the carnage behind.
