Homeless, hopeless and strung out on hard drugs, an institutionalized felon by the name Uriel wanders the mean streets of Des Moines, Iowa during the brutal winter of the Midwest. Looking for money to buy her next dose of happiness, she stumbles upon a non-government organization offering a large sum of cold, hard cash in exchange for receiving an experimental medical shot developed by DARPA. After taking the injection, Uriel starts to feel strange side effects, ones that make her feel more than human and give her a new sense and meaning of what life is all about!
