The Dog Stars
After the world's population has been ravaged by a pandemic, a man lives a lonesome existence in a Colorado airplane hangar with his dog and a dour gunman he has befriended. When a mysterious transmission comes through on the radio while heâs flying his old Cessna, it sparks a hunt for the provenance of the sound.
