Synopsis

The most uplifting thing you can do - is shoplifting. Sammy is a queer millennial with a precarious life and all the anxieties that go with it. When they make a snap decision to shoplift a shirt, their mental health takes a spiral - until they get a lesson about late-stage capitalism from the last person they'd expect.
