Storm Rider: Legend of Hammerhead

Three centuries after a cataclysmic event known as the "Great Flood," the Earth's landmass has been reduced to scattered islands. The remnants of humanity live under the constant threat of a massive, perpetual electrical storm that divides the ocean. The only known sanctuary is Argos, a fortified city-state ruled by a group of immortal elites known as "The Founders." Neb (Marco Ilsø), a rebellious young islander, refuses to accept the Founders' oppressive rule and the superstition that the storm is a divine barrier. Haunted by visions of the past and the future after being struck by lightning, Neb teams up with Ana (Ivana Dudić) to do the unthinkable: sail directly into the storm. Their journey puts them on a collision course with the Founders' enforcers and reveals that the history of their world, and the storm itself, is a fabrication designed to keep humanity under control. == Cast ==
