Yours for the Taking

The year is 2050. Ava and her girlfriend live in what's left of Brooklyn, and though they love each other, it's hard to find happiness while the effects of climate change eclipse their world. Soon, it won't be safe outside at all. The only people guaranteed survival are the ones accepted to The Inside Project, a series of weather-safe, city-sized structures around the world. The director of the Manhattan Inside is Jacqueline Millender. Her ideas are unorthodox, yet alluring, challenging the very concept of empowerment. Shelby, a business major from a working-class family, is drawn to Jacqueline’s promises of power and impact. When she lands a job as Jacqueline’s personal assistant, she's swept up into the glamourous world of corporatized feminism. Also drawn into Jacqueline's orbit is Olympia, who Jacqueline recruits to run the health department Inside. But the more Olympia learns about the project, the more she realizes something else is at play. As Ava, Olympia, and Shelby start to notice the cracks in the system, Jacqueline tightens her grip, becoming increasingly dangerous in what she's willing to do - and who she's willing to sacrifice - to keep her dream alive. At once a mesmerising story of queer love, betrayal, and chosen family, and an unflinching indictment of cis, corporate feminism, Yours for the Taking holds a mirror to our own world, in all its beauty and horror.
