Payton (they/them), an insecure young person amidst a move-in to their new apartment, wants another shot with their opinionated ex, Camila (she/her). When she actually agrees to one last meetup, Payton begins to think that a reunion between the two and their beloved couple chairs could help reignite an old spark between them. The problem is, Payton abandoned those chairs back at their's and Camila’s old place after the breakup ended horrifically.
Still proudly flaunting its progressive values, a young independent nation prepares to celebrate an all-purpose holiday called The Sovereign. Despite the declared moral superiority, the little nation is rife with inequality, apathy and a strengthening authoritarian framework. For the 24-hour holiday, citizens are encouraged to share their blessings with the less fortunate. Predictably, the practice at times seems more like performance art rather than a community service. The story revolves around two pregnant cousins, Sila and Marilu, both throwing fundraisers for their babies' birthday funds, ultimately vying for a top donation from their rich Aunt Cara, a self-indulgent playwright. While the cousins duel for the top dollar, we drop in on the different experiences populating this patchwork community and listen in on some familiar challenges.
