A modern fairy-tale satire set in the cutthroat world of academic research follows Gabriela Quiroz, an overworked PhD student preparing for a pivotal Research Funding mixer where major grants are awarded. Her entitled lab partner Andrew routinely coasts on her work and takes credit. Their advisor, Dr. Thatcher, reinforces the imbalance. Gabriela is expected to remain invisible yet indispensable. Will she summon the courage to defy both her advisor and her lab partner in a bid to secure funding for her research?
