Afflicted Derek Lee and Clif Prowse, Canada/USA World Premiere
Best
friends Derek and Clif set out on a trip of a lifetime. Their plan:
travel to the ends of the earth, see the world, and live life to the
fullest. But the trip soon takes a dark and bloody turn. Just days in,
one of the men shows signs of a mysterious affliction which gradually
takes over his entire body and being. Now, thousands of miles from home,
in a foreign land, they must race to uncover the source of his illness
before it consumes him completely. Footage of their travels meant to
document pleasant memories may now become evidence of one of the most
shocking discoveries ever captured on film…and may be their only
postcard home.
