A cinematic speculative debut about a woman who underwent cryo preservation at the time of her death and wakes up a century later in a world where her life is a crime. When Alabine, a spunky, politically active young woman with a bright career and romance ahead of her, finds out the devastating news that she has terminal cancer, the only thing that gives her solace is the possibility of science bringing her back in the future, so she chooses to undergo cryo preservation. A century later, scientists have discovered how to resurrect the dead from cryo, and humanity has since been in a philosophical battle over the ethics of this new God-like power, a battle that has turned violent: those who are resurrected-and those who help them-are to be shot on sight. This is the world Albaline is awoken into by The Ressurectionists, an underground militia fighting for rights for The Awoken, a group that Albaline is now a part of. Finding herself in a completely unfamiliar world, and one where she is an outsider for the first time in her life, Alabaline must figure out how to survive, her new place in this world, and also, her chance to reunited with her one true love. The Awoken is a gripping and action-packed story about a young white woman who must grapple with her former privilege and figure out how to step aside. It's a look at prejudice, complicity, the fears that tear us apart, and the hope that can bring us together.
