Acute Exposure

In the small town of Loving, New Mexico, Dell has a mission: to tell the people of the far-flung future that there is a dangerous store of nuclear waste hidden below the ground. Her neighbor and morbidly curious classmate, Mara, comes along for the ride after theyre assigned to work on a project together for English class. As they grow closer, and the enormity of whats buried in their backyards sinks in, they find that their relationship is changing them: for better, for worse, forever. When Dells path out of town becomes uncertain, the two will have to choose what they bring with them into their futures, and what they leave behind.
