Jane leaves everything behind and hits the road, where she meets a charismatic recluse named Barry who has an obsession with inventing mechanical wings. With such wings, humans could fly and escape the destruction brought about by climate change and capitalism.
She also meets Ike, his son, who is more grounded and gentler. She then finds herself torn between Ike's caring and cautious presence and the radical dreams and danger of Barry's obsessions.
It is a work that asks what the actual cost of freedom is.
