This luminous film visits rural China, a plantation in South Africa, and Montreal's porn industry, to tell three separate yet universal stories from the pandemic. In China, Ping (Liu) is a pregnant young woman running a black market blood collection scam that creates a mini-epidemic in a rural village. In Montreal, Denys (Ashmore) is a porn actor hiding his positive HIV status in order to continue working and supporting his mother (Channing), who herself goes to extreme lengths to provide for the family's future.

She makes a desperate bargain with a corrupt plantation owner to help prevent the spread of HIV in the region.
