Songbird
Four years into the pandemic, COVID-23, the newest mutation of the original COVID-19 virus, still ravages the globe. In order to contain infections, America has become a state of mass surveillance, imposing movement restrictions that, when broken, are punishable by death, demanding constant temperature checks and forcibly moving the sick and their relatives into quarantine camps with horrific conditions if they test positive. Among the lucky few who escape this oppressive reality is Nico (Apa), whose immunity to the virus allows him more freedoms than most. Keen on keeping life simple, his interests solely pertain to his job delivering packages to the rich with his boss, Lester (Robinson), and his girlfriend, Sara (Carson).
