The year is 2054, and our story begins with Iris Ignatius floating in a stolen boat off the West Coast of North America, trying to tell us a story.

In IRIS, the world of the future is living up to the adage of ‘the more things change, the more they stay the same’. In post-oil, climate-changed world, regular people are still subject to the forces of corporate greed.

For Break Media - Jolene, Kris, and Iris - it represents a mystery that leads them to the doors of cult compounds, the grand estates of the wealthy, and into their own hearts.
