A dark, dystopian thrill ride with an environmental slant, “The Fix” explores identity, perception, and autonomy in a frighteningly viable future. A toxic compound infects earth’s atmosphere. Pharmaceutical giant, Aethera, sells immunity to those who can afford the daily dose... most can't. When an image-conscious wild child takes a new designer drug at a house party, she inadvertently becomes an unintended test subject. Pursued by a dangerous gang and authorities in cahoots with Aethera, she hunts desperately for a “fix” that will reverse the drug’s effects… only to discover that her mutations could save the human race.

00:00We live in a world where nothing can be taken for granted, not even the air we breathe.
00:14Protect yourselves.
00:15Take your air rem.
00:16That's it.
00:17Yeah, but it's not like I'm saving the world or anything.
00:22They just liked my look.
00:24Air remedy has become the most sought after drug in the world.
00:29It completely neutralizes the toxin.
00:32Air rem will be available to everyone.
00:34There goes the planet.
00:36We're all going to be slaves to it there.
00:38What if I can help it?
00:47I don't know what's happening.
00:55Tell me about this drug.
00:56It's done things to me.
00:58Whatever we're looking at, it's not human.
01:02Remarkable.
01:04We could create a whole new population to harvest.
01:07In addition to harvesting her.
01:10The world's out of time.
01:13Ethereal wants to be the only solution, but it isn't.
01:17Do you think it's okay to experiment on people?
01:22What's more important, your future or the future of the species?
01:28You don't get to play God.
01:32I am not giving you the formula.
01:34We won't let people die.
01:37Look what it's done to me.
01:39It's just side effects.
01:40Just side effects.
01:53Either we change or we die.
01:55Who are we?
