New mother Panya lives in the perfect environment of Blocks 6-8, where all amenities are on site and goods are delivered by drone. Little Liber is perfect, their residence is fully enclosed, her world is regulated, sterilised, and safe.

Panya feels stretched to her limits, with her partner working away to cover their bills. So what if she feels isolated? So what if she struggles to manage expectations? It's what they have to do to remain in their community. It's how they take care of their child.

But Liber is struggling. She's refusing to switch to eating nutribulbs, like everyone in their community. And people are starting to ask questions. Her partner. The doctors. The authorities. Besieged by norms and expectations, what choice does Panya have? The consequences could break her world.
