- In a dystopian American future where suicide is banned, two strangers meet at a center for government-sanctioned suicide, commonly known as The Checkout Line. Hope and love rage against the darkness of despair in this 25min sci-fi drama.
- It's 2036. America is bankrupt, two of the last three presidents have been assassinated, the health care system is defunct, lawlessness covers most of the country, and hopelessness is common. There are even 'Checkout Lines', government funded facilities termed Voluntary Dissolvement Facility, where civilians go to terminate themselves, rid them of this heinous, meaningless existence. The government loves it, the best form of population control. Nate and Jamie find that their lives are so bleak and hopeless that they resort to the ultimate final decision, to end their lives at the Checkout Line. They meet at the line and as they begin to scrape away the layers of each others past they fall in love and exit the line, thus changing their decision and lives.—Anonymous
- It's 2056. America is bankrupt. A Third World War decimates the northern half of the country, leaving behind an irradiated wasteland. The general population is 83% unemployed. Healthcare extinct. Desperation and despair run rampant. To prevent more disease and bodies littering the landscape, suicide has been deemed illegal. Anyone found to have taken their own life will leave a further financial burden on their next of kin. The newly formed corporate government establishes Voluntary Dissolvement Centers (V.D.C.'s) to assist in government sanctioned suicide, commonly known as Checkout Lines. A series of unfortunate events lead Nate, an unemployed miner living in the "northern half" to resort to the ultimate final decision, to end his life at The Checkout Line. Enter Jamie, the young prostitute who cannot stand the shame anymore. Fate and timing will bring these two lost souls together, and in the darkest of hours comes the hint of a spark.—Cornelius Broderick
