A post-apocalyptic tale of beauty, misogyny and bisexual baggage. Amidst societal collapse, Mila and Sam find comfort in their close friendship and budding attraction. It seems possible that the end of the old world could be the beginning of something better. All that changes when a strange man arrives. Joe is desperate for Mila’s companionship, and in exchange he can give her an artefact of her former life: a lipstick. As tensions among the three rise, Mila finds herself caught between Sam’s hopes of a better future and Joe’s offer of the safety of male approval.
