SYNOPSIS
Ria, a folk-punk musician, lives in TARIMA, the last remaining building in a community erased by forced evictions.

With only five days left before their home is destroyed, Ria joins fellow punks and allies in a final stand, forcing her to confront what she is willing to sacrifice to protect TARIMA.
