Synopsis :

When out of work performance artist and lazy anti-capitalist Valerie starts her new job at Big Company, she feels like an out of place sell out. Unlike her step-sister, Patti, a Type-A robotics engineer who also works for the tech giant. She’s obsessed with her job and dreams of one day being noticed by the Big Company founder, Bryan Bygge. Like most siblings, the step-sisters frequently clash, but their polar opposite natures make them extra judgemental of each other’s lifestyle choices (and ignorant to their own glaring flaws). Patti’s desire for perfection has left her devoid of anything resembling a life, and Valerie’s fear of responsibility means she exists in a state of permanent arrested development.But when the step-sisters discover that Bryan plans to leave a near- apocalyptic Earth for a planet he’s been constructing for himself and a hand-selected group of billionaires, they are forced to put their petty differences aside and work as a dysfunctional team in order to stop him.
