Lockdown, formerly titled Covid-19: Invasion, is set in the plague-ravaged year of 2035. The world’s population has been decimated and there are only 29,000,000 people left.

Additional probing later reveals that the women are unknowing participants in an experiment that could change the course of their lives forever. Shirin Etessam produced with Abeydeera, Goss, Nanci Gaglio, Meghan Weinstein, Stacy Schneiderman...
