- Karlie Hustle navigates motherhood and the music industry in New York City, all while battling breast cancer. She’s weathered by chemotherapy and surgeries, but also by years as a participant in late capitalism’s trappings. A habitual work martyr, Karlie learns to accept help from others and reprioritizes her life in order to survive.

While the world falls through the cracks of failing systems, Karlie grapples with surviving one disease, only to be faced with the harsh realities of another.
