MANIKIN

In the bleak, dystopian future, tiny dolls called Manikins keep citizens of The State in check by feeding them messages of conformity, and obedience. Tara, who is hoping for a better life, purchases an aftermarket Manikin which boosts her morale with messages of hope, and courage. But when The State intervenes, Tara faces the dire consequences of trying to break free from the norm.
