Accompanied by his young son, a middle-aged man travels from rave to rave in the deserts of Morocco, searching for his missing daughter. Following a rumor about her whereabouts, the pair join up with a nomadic crew of misfits and set out for a mythic dance party in the depths of the Sahara—a journey that will take them to the very edge of personal and global desolation.
