SYNOPSIS
In the near future, a ragtag band of teens struggles for survival in the face of a global warming catastrophe. Despite dire circumstances that leave them scavenging for food and water, they find fun where they can, frolicking in the "party pool" and forgetting themselves just long enough to be teenagers. But when they're forced to flee their makeshift home because of an outbreak of sickness and land in "New San Francisco," the group starts to break apart. Will they follow Deme, their leader, and chase after the rumored polar bears that she believes are the key to their long-term survival, or make the best of where they are?
