The world has abandoned the arts and humanities. A logically driven society has pushed creatives to extinction, replacing their minds with emotionless expressions. Surviving artists struggle to uphold and preserve the arts by banding together in an underground movement. Experienced soldier Min and veteran smuggler, The Courier, must escort one of the last remaining child creatives, Ash, to a safe haven away from the evils that wish to silence Ash's abilities.The gang seeks refuge at their designated safe-house, a remote cabin removed from society. As they settle in, Min transmits a status update. Ash listens to a 1-channel radio from the movement, listening for updates on the deceased and missing. The Courier and Min discusses new plans for the job as Ash demonstrates her creative abilities by visualizing the music she listens to.Min attempts to tap into his creative soul but fails, as Ash watches in secret. The Courier and Min share a moment with each other while on watch, revealing their troubled pasts and connections to artists before the fall. The next morning, Min takes Ash to the beach as The Courier packs essentials. Ash reaches Min's heart by showing him how to remember his creativity.
