On a wintery evening, two women drive up to a border checkpoint where one of them is seeking an abortion. Never leaving their car, they are forced to endure invasive and emotionally abusive measures in order to get past the checkpoint to the procedure. The dialogue in this film is taken verbatim from State-mandated anti-choice materials and imagines a world in which the territory of the body and the territory of the nation are collapsed into one space. Ultimately, the film explores whether this fictional world is really that different from the one we live in now.
