'The Handmaid's Tale meets Black Mirror.'
Be kind or die.
Twenty-nine-year-old Lana is a social-media fanatic and climate-change activist, born into a world where criminals are executed to reduce the population. The majority of citizens?Lana included?are content with the system, but overcrowding is still a problem.
Faced with intolerable pollution levels, the government secretly uses social media to assess whether or not a user must face execution. The plan gets leaked, and a cull list is released to the public.
Lana is on the list.
Forced into a life on the run, she takes refuge in a remote lake house with her boyfriend. In her new world of paranoia and isolation, Lana must learn to survive without safety, family, and technology to evade the cull.
Without a keyboard to hide behind, Lana is compelled to re-examine how well she knows herself and how she wound up a fugitive in the first place?and the answers might hit painfully close to home.
