  1. 1. The Pharmacist

    In a sealed underground bunker where the remnants of society live under strict rationing and surveillance after a catastrophe, a young pharmacist manages scarce medicines while enforcing the regime’s controls over bodies and reproduction. As she becomes entangled in black-market deals and fraught alliances, she uncovers unsettling truths about those in power and must decide how far she will go to protect her patients—and reclaim her own agency—amid scarcity, secrecy, and moral compromise.
