Gordon (Joe Cole, known from the series "Peaky Blinders" and "Black Mirror") works for an American company protecting a pipeline located in the North African desert. Using a robot drone, he keeps a close eye on the area thousands of miles away from his Detroit office. One day a girl named Ayusha (Lina El Arabi) appears in the area patrolled by Gordon and starts to intrigue him. The boy decides to follow her with a drone and finds out that her family wants to force her to marry an older man. Ayusha is in love with another. The girl decides to run away, and Gordon decides to help her do so. This desert version of Romeo and Juliet draws Gordon in completely.
