A science-fiction drama thriller where humans and aliens (the so-called 'non-humans') co-exist on Earth due to the past mistakes of humans, destroying the aliens home planet. It is a seemingly appropriate solution until aliens begin suspiciously disappearing and human propaganda against sick aliens, coined the 'ill ones' begins appearing everywhere. The reason? Sick aliens blood is the perfect toxin levels to be safely injected into the human body, acting as an elixir of life of sorts. When secret alien Cecilia suddenly becomes ill at dinner with the head of the government's Draining Division for sick aliens, she and her human husband must escape the government, authority and leave everything they have ever known behind to try to find her own people and the antidote.
