A man races against time to prevent the unthinkable from happening to the one he loves. The Last One is one man's journey home, where the consequences of the choices he's made slowly begin to unravel in front of him. As Alex recovers from a gunfight and comes to his senses, he realizes that his life and that of his girlfriend Abbie are in grave danger. Unable to reach her, Alex must now make the long journey back to Abbie before the people he's crossed get to her first.

As they drive into the night, Alex begins to realize just how important his relationship is, and now, he can only hope he is not too late to save it.
Fire dancing is a form of Poi, a Maori art that involves spinning a set of tethered weights around a person's body in rhythmic patterns. It is a skill that takes patience to learn and years of dedication to master. The film slows the movements down to capture the lifelike characteristics of the fire, show how close it gets to the dancer's face and body, and to emphasize the grace and focus needed to control this dangerous yet beautiful entity.
