ABOUT UNDERGROUND NATION
It’s 2055 at Miss OD's open mic, Underground Nation, where young artists use their voices to speak out against the status quo. Angelo has just defeated progressive Councilwoman Duke in the mayoral election and he keeps his campaign promise to eliminate the arts and send the artists to be, "re-educated." When triple threat Claudia receives an unspeakable sentence under his extreme laws, her sister Isabella is faced with an impossible choice: in an unjust world, do you save yourself or your sister?
