Dystopia in three parts focusing on the sale of body parts. In the first story, a poor woman sells organs in order to pay her bills. In the second story, a law is passed legalizing the sale of body parts that, with amendments, means that anyone in debt can be required to sell their body parts to pay it off, and a woman has her womb and uterus harvested. In the third part, a resistance has arisen with the story told by a woman in the resistance trying to get access to the records that show whose organs were harvested and who they went to.
