This contemporary Faust adaptation transposes the classic good vs evil narrative, so choosing the community vs the self in a fun playful scifi, horror, adaptation, filled with jump scares, laughs, and deep questions. A university lab, with idealistic values, starts making big compromises once the funding cuts we all know to well begin.
