Overdrawn: Hard-Hitting Portrait of an Ableist Dystopia

In an ageist future where euthanasia is encouraged as a patriotic act and dementia is not tolerated, a man watches his wife slip away from him. Fortuitously, he crosses paths with a young woman struggling to get the funds together to keep her brother's life support switched on and the two enter into a business arrangement. A smart dystopia in the tradition of "1984" and "The Handmaid's Tale".
