Slam poet Mia (23) gets the chance to dub an anime heroine. Ever more along the way strange parallels occur between her and the courageous cartoon heroine. Mia suddenly has extraordinary powers and can perform superhuman acts. She becomes certain that even in the real world hostile powers are planning to destroy it. In trying to save humanity, no sacrifice is too great. Her life falls more and more out of whack.
