Synopsis

Geth Montego only has three friends. There\x27s her best friend Tovah, who\x27s been acting weird ever since they started applying to the same colleges. Then there\x27s Diego, who she wants to ask to prom, but if she does it could ruin everything. And there\x27s the K\-pop band BTS, who she\x27s never seen up close but she\x27s certain she\x27d be BFFs with every member of the group if she ever met them for real. Then Geth\x27s small town of New Rochelle, New York, becomes the centre of a virus sweeping the world. Schools are closed, jobs are lost, and the only human contact she has is over Zoom. After a confrontation with cops, Geth gets caught up in the Black Lives Matter movement and finds herself having to brave the dangers she\x27s spent months in quarantine trying to avoid. Geth\x27s friends, family, and hometown are upended by the pandemic and the protests. Geth faces a choice: Is she willing to risk everything to fight for her beliefs? And what exactly does she believe in, anyway?
