The father’s law no longer exists (the bastard just took off), and the Young Liberals have been challenging the incest ban since 2020. But no one has ever asked whether Iocasta actually wants to sleep with her son. Frustrated, Iocasta sets out in search of her own subject position, but instead encounters: a group of cheerleaders who no longer know who they’re actually cheering for. A polycule that desperately wants to include her. And a few young men who believe the biological body is the solution.
