Citizens are subjected to strict rationing systems that dictate their daily lives, leading to tensions and moral dilemmas. The story follows a group of individuals from different backgrounds as they navigate this harsh reality, forming unlikely alliances and confronting the ethical implications of survival. As they struggle to find hope and redefine what it means to be human in a world dominated by scarcity, they must decide what sacrifices they are willing to make for their loved ones and their future.
