“When you saw the news and thought it was terrible,
did you secretly not see those people as real people because they were somewhere else?” 6, Any Gender
By the year 2076, climate change pushed America underwater. Set on a claustrophobic rescue ship, survivors keep their spirits up by exercising, hosting sing-alongs, and stumbling into relationships. Soon, the memory of loved ones left behind, and fear of the planet retaliating against the abuse it’s been given, might overthrow their new Eden.
