In a world quite literally running out of air, Elaine Hamilton faces an impossible choice as she approaches her 30th birthday: become a mother or undergo medically induced photosynthesis. Society now depends upon the oxygen-producing Sunshine Girls to survive, but the organization controlling them is equal parts New Age summer camp and dystopian prison. As Elaine enters its suffocating world, an unexpected romance awakens her to the cost of surrendering control over her own body. Madeleine Hicks’ darkly funny and unsettling feature debut transforms reproductive politics into provocative science fiction—and proves that falling in love really can take your breath away.
