The Millennial generation (also known as Generation Y, or the spawn of
the Baby Boomers) is not the first to come of age in a time of terror,
shrouded in a blanket of deadly pandemic warnings, perpetual terrorist
alerts and devastating natural disasters. It just may be the first
generation to have to cope with the looming threat of apocalypse
nearly every minute of every day, by way of text message, tweet, blog
post or online media report. So how do you hold still in a world that
is in constant motion, that is perpetually crumbling around you?

Meet the trio of complex characters whose interwoven lives will
provide the answer: Josh is a shy, dark-humoured, transsexual
paramedic living in Toronto and confronting the demise of his
longstanding relationship with Amy, a fashion-forward, bisexual
filmmaker from a well-to-do family.
