Synopsis

In a not-too-distant future, Congress enacts the chilling 'Duty to Die' law, mandating euthanasia for anyone deemed 'defective' by the state. As this terrifying legislation targets the elderly, terminally ill, and disabled, a diverse group of individuals—including a young woman with a terminal illness, a new mother, and a man with HIV—must fight for their lives. They challenge a system that strips away fundamental rights, desperately seeking to turn the tide before more innocent lives are lost.
