In a near future, the world is in a state of permanent pandemic, and society has been reduced to just two kinds of people: those who are immune, and those who are not. When an everyday hero attempts to visit their dying parent, they're forced to examine, confront, and subvert the realities of a system that doesn't want them to thrive. Oh, and it's a comedy.
