Sam Chanse

Mel and Arjun have embarked on a last-minute camping trip to take refuge from the brewing storm of their lives. Georgia is studying the impact of climate change on the imperiled Joshua tree. As the world heats up and the wilderness forces Mel and Arjun to question their symbiosis, what can they learn about survival in the face of annihilation?
