Plot Overview
Set years into a seemingly benevolent alien occupation of Earth, humanity struggles to adapt to new rulers known as the Vuvv—small, coffee table-sized beings with advanced technology. Although their innovations promised prosperity, most human jobs became obsolete, eliminating steady income for many.
Seventeen-year-old artist Adam Campbell (Asante Blackk) and his girlfriend Chloe Marsh (Kylie Rogers) discover the Vuvv’s fascination with human love and realize they can profit by livestreaming their relationship. Their earnings support both their families, creating a brief period of hope and stability.
However, as their teenage romance fades, they face difficult and surreal decisions that significantly impact their lives and those they care about.
