A young Korean American journalist grasps at status and security through a maze of medical experimentation in scifi-horror thriller Soon You’ll Be Just Like Us.
In near-future, dystopian LA, struggling journalist Lily Han is desperate to save herself from career failure and deportation when the tabloid show Off-Ramp offers an unbelievable proposition. She agrees to undergo extensive cosmetic surgery—more popular than ever, and the subject of unsettling protests by fringe feminist group #AsIs—and chronicle its effects on her life.
Lily’s surgery grants her beauty and influence, but she’s no safer. #AsIs’s activism grows bloodthirsty, and her new connections draw her further into a tangle of experimental technology and chilling malpractice. She can only trust herself—that is, if you can trust someone you no longer recognize.
Marrying psychological and body horror, Soon You’ll Be Just Like Us confronts feminism, patriarchy, identity, and the ethics of survival at any cost.
