A woman suspects that her government-imposed birth control implant is controlling her. As reports of uncharacteristically violent female behaviour begin to surge, it becomes evident that the mandatory implant is wreaking havoc on women's impulse control. Is the rage she feels bubbling within a natural reaction to an unjust society or is there something more sinister at play?
