A strange, uneasy plunge into a skewed past where rebellion flickers and is quietly smothered.

During an attempt to change her own personal universe, Lucy, unintentionally changes the world for women as we know it. A night of unfortunate events lead her to a gathering of minorities (each representing a true civil rights activists of 1960), who rebel against the American dream. We learn the next morning that most of the action against this society were reset by a powerful individual who represents their government, Dr. George Star.
