A melancholic cyberpunk short about an isolated lab technician's quiet rebellion and loneliness amid corporate dystopia and genetic corruption.

Tommy, a dogged lab tech of industrial food who, though once known in the business as "The Apostate", seems to have rededicated himself to producing scientifically engineered meat. A film about a dystopian future rife with genetic engineering, corporate corruption of government and rampant infection, is really about Tommy’s loneliness and the at-home experiment he conducts.
