Description

How much is your suffering worth? A conversation-starting, high-concept thriller for fans of Apple TV's Severance and Jessamine Chan's The School of Good Mothers.

Why should you suffer when she can do it for you?

A revolutionary company can free you from your unwanted emotions.

Jealousy, grief, despair. If you can afford to, you need never feel them again.

In your place is a Carrier — a woman who is paid to process your pain.

In a world full of suffering, there is no shortage of demand.

But this company has secrets. The true cost of your freedom is a Carrier's life.

Would you let her pay the price?
