The cost of music is on the rise.
The year 2149 is a world of grime-streaked metal, moonless nights, and far worse smog than any LA native has ever experienced. As overpopulation and environmental degradation collide, earth is quickly becoming uninhabitable, but there is one hope left for humanity.
A decade later and nearly 400 miles away, the voices of 9/11 still echo through the quiet halls of two Buffalo art galleries.
