In a rationed town where coupons decide survival, an older sister struggles to protect her younger siblings Zack and Yara. Their mother suddenly turns affectionate, forces them back to school and promises three meals a day. Then she slips into town buying new clothes and meat. The siblings fear a darker motive—could she be scouting buyers to sell them? They rush through crowded stalls to uncover the truth and reach Zack before it's too late. "Mom!" the sister cries. Can they stop whatever plan is unfolding?
