6 Harlots

There are no flying cars in 2119. Men are "viros" and women, "harlots" in the Great American Union (GAU). The Sinclair Government, headquartered in Putingrad, once known as New York City, has created an empire that spans across North America and Asia. For generations, the regime has made a promise it intends to keep: "For every viro, a crown! For every viro, a harlot!" In a nation where departure from the status quo is an act of rebellion, harlots have become insurgents in their struggle for freedom. Harlot hunting is big business, and hunters have become the new celebrity darlings—their expeditions are live-streamed into every household (and gambling hall) in the Union. For decades, harlots on the run—or "fujiharlots"—have attempted to escape out west, to the enlightened lands of "Progressium." But in 2119, a few harlots decide it's time to start fighting back. Follow Quintana, Moon, Seditionista, Maxine, and Razor Jane as they attempt to survive the Union and combat the new world order.
