Set in a dystopian world dominated by surveillance and control, Arlington follows Isla, a young woman held inside a mysterious high-rise facility, waiting for her number to be called.
Telling stories of her dreams for the world outside, her only human interaction is with an anonymous man on the other side of the wall.
Today there is a new listener. Their encounter sparks a fragile connection that defies the cold mechanisms of the world around them, and what starts as a seemingly small human interaction turns into something much more terrifying and sublime.
