In an unspecified year in the future, a girl and a child are stationed on an isolated hill, eagerly scanning the horizon through the telescopic sight of a precision rifle. The two individuals are there for one reason only: hunting. They take down the few sentient drones still lingering in the skies, extracting lithium batteries, the last remaining source of sustenance. Today is their lucky day; they've captured a V.3, a rare model. But the line between hunter and prey is faint and blurred, and success can lead to deadly perils.
