What Happened to Monday

In 2073, the world faces an overpopulation crisis, prompting the Child Allocation Bureau (C.A.B.) to enforce a strict one-child policy. This draconian measure aims to control the burgeoning population, drastically altering the lives of countless families.

Karen Settman gives birth to identical sisters, marking a significant event for her family. Due to the one-child policy, only the eldest sister is permitted to survive, prompting their father, Terrence, to devise a plan to ensure their collective existence.

Terrence names each sister after the days of the week and meticulously trains them to function as a single entity. They adhere to strict rules, sharing information daily and only allowing one sister to venture into the outside world at any given time.

To conceal their identities, the sisters employ a clever disguise system involving wigs and makeup. This strategy becomes essential as they navigate their daily lives without raising suspicion and fear of C.A.B. detection.

The situation escalates when Thursday breaks the critical rule of the sisters by going out on her own. She injures her finger, leading to a harrowing consequence where Terrence has no choice but to remove the same part from all the sisters as punishment.

After Sunday witnesses C.A.B. agents detaining a child in a disturbing public scene, the sisters have a heated discussion about their uncertain future. Tensions rise as they contemplate surrendering themselves to live more freely, igniting debates about loyalty and survival.

Monday attempts to present herself as their mother, Karen, at her job but quickly finds herself entangled in office politics. Her promoter, Jerry, hints at blackmail, creating a dangerous situation that heightens the stakes for the sisters.

Alarmed by Monday's absence from their daily meeting, Tuesday grows suspicious and starts investigating. Her determination uncovers shocking truths about Monday’s precarious dealings with C.A.B., leading to an unexpected betrayal.

With C.A.B. agents closing in on the sisters, the atmosphere becomes rife with tension. Their loyalty is tested as they face life-altering decisions, pushing them toward confrontations that will determine their fates.

The sisters face devastating losses as they engage in action-packed confrontations, including the tragic end of Sunday. This event serves as a grim reminder of the stakes involved in their desperate struggle for survival.

Amidst the chaos and heartbreak, the sisters find themselves in a complex web of shifting alliances and emerging betrayals. Their unity is tested as they fight against both C.A.B. and their darker impulses.

In an act of courage, Thursday partners with Adrian, a C.A.B. agent, to infiltrate C.A.B. headquarters. Their mission unveils the systemic horrors of their society, revealing the grim realities that govern their lives.

The climax of their struggle culminates in a dramatic confrontation among the sisters themselves. As they grapple with shifting identities and heartbreaking decisions, the fallout threatens to irreparably alter their bonds.

With the conflicts resolved, the sisters emerge from the chaos with a renewed sense of purpose. The journey they've endured leads to the repeal of the Child Allocation Act, symbolizing a significant victory for their future.

As they embrace a new chapter in their lives, the sisters begin to forge their identities anew. The unthinkable restrictions they once faced have been lifted, offering them a chance to begin rebuilding their lives in a changed society.
