Dr. Prim

A group of individuals come together during the virus lock down. They tell their stories of love, hate, greed and death.

Sam, a neurodivergent man, has a daughter with a homeless woman who abandons them when they leave the hospital, leaving Sam to raise Lucy on his own. But as Lucy grows up, Sam's limitations as a parent start to become a problem and the authorities take her away.
