Brandon Baker is a young, high-school graduate, thrust into a world of dead-end jobs. Drinking life away with his friends, he awaits his shot at the only life to live in the eyes of a young Albertan - oil and gas.

Destiny wakes him from his seemingly eternal hangover, whisking him away from his comforts to the unfamiliar streets of the big city and his shot at the big show. Newfound love and experimentation challenge his inbred, small town morals, where he finds life in the fast lane to be truly blinding. Work consumes him. Love turns to lost and greed leads to death. Stripped of himself, Brandon wakes on the sands of a foreign shore where he questions what should have been and finds himself woken to a new energy. An alternative energy.
