inert

In a near-future society where emotions are suppressed through mandatory daily injections, a young woman begins to question the system after experiencing a glitch in her medication. As she secretly seeks out others who might be feeling the same, she uncovers a conspiracy to control the population's feelings. She must decide whether to conform and live a numb existence or fight for the right to feel, even if it means risking everything.
