As her recollections return, she discovers the horrifying reality of the situation and learns that the development of a cure is only the initial step in a much larger and more complex crisis. This short film serves as a prequel to the feature film, The Third Wave, and was developed at the Binger FilmLab 2012. The project received recognition, including the Best Story Pitch award at the Edinburgh Film Festival in June 2012.
