In 2022, MINA is a prisoner. Everyday, a nurse comes to take samples of her blood and use it as currency for a pharmaceutical company. She has no idea who she is. Why she's even being kept captive. She just knows she's being moved around often. In places she doesn't know anything about. She's also told she can't take out her helmet or she'll die! But an earthquake gives Mina an opportunity to escape and discover how she's different from everyone, how she's a LADY-BIRD too!
Two Lady-Birds. Two eras. Same incredible powers: They can fly and their genes are unlike any other known being on the planet. Who are they? And how can they be connected. They have no clue about each other but their goal is the same: freeing themselves from patriarchy, abuse, greed and exploitation.
