Synopsis
The leader of the country, called Pharoah, declares war upon society's 'undesirables'. Drug abusers, refugees, criminals and the homeless are all considered equally worthless and entered into a restricted ghetto, called 'Dreamland', where they cannot leave. When Moses learns he was adopted by Pharoah and is actually the son of an asylum seeker, he shuns his life of privilege to lead the ghetto's inhabitants in a revolt against his father.
