A 10-minute, 15-second film with no dialogue, it stars Springsteen as a man wandering through the countryside and is reminiscent of scenes from The Book of Eli or the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road.

During the film's intro (about five-and-a-half minutes), his character flashes back to his past life with a family - who we don't see him with through its duration. Soon a young boy leads him to a farm where he lives with a community of people, recalling the community that Tom Joad met under the bridge in Grapes of Wrath.
