In the apocalyptic scenario of The Last Prayer's Farm, the community is located in the Karapınar district of Konya, where underground resources are gradually depleting, leading to an increase in sinkholes. This community, struggling to survive, is hoping for a savior and thus places their hopes on newborns and the youth.
