Kelly is determined to find Denise, her missing activist girlfriend, even if she has to search every protest and rally in the city.  Instead, she finds Sophia, an energetic young social justice warrior with her own peculiar perspectives.  Sophia offers to help in the search, but the price for Sophia’s aid may be steeper than Kelly had bargained for.  EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO (TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE) is a Faustian dark comedy about the effectiveness of activism, the hidden price of social justice, and how far we are willing to go to make the world a better place.
