Beneath the unblinking gaze of a surveillance drone, human lives are reduced to data points, labeled and sorted with clinical precision. Khloe, a trans software developer at Scryr, has built a fragile sense of stability inside this defense technology company, believing certainty is worth the cost. When Scryr sends Khloe to her alma mater’s career fair to highlight their workplace diversity, she is paired with the seasoned and world-weary Joyce, the company’s only other trans woman. Presenting at the fair and recruiting young hopefuls unsettles Khloe and forces her to question the values behind her work. What begins as a routine trip becomes an emotional reckoning with ambition and the price of stability in a world that demands sacrifice.
