Plot
In what use to be America, several women fight to stay alive in a post-apocalyptic world, after being captured by a brutal army of men. The men are veterans of the "Western War," which occurred sometime before 2021. The army is led by Mikal (Chuck Wagner) who is world-weary and tired of fighting, but sees no alternative
With escape impossible, their only hope for rescue is a nomadic band of fierce she-warriors: The Sisterhood. Each member of the Sisterhood has a unique paranormal power, although they have lost battles to the men's forces in the past. Led by Alee (Rebecca Holden) the Sisterhood eschews mechanical weapons in favor of their paranormal abilities. The Sisterhood is able to overcome the army of men and free the captives. They reaffirm their commitment to heal the land with the use of their powers not machinery.
