A Cake for Lizzie is the story of Sofia, a single mother and dedicated police officer living in a dystopian future Los Angeles — where food is a luxury and not a right. Sofia’s daughter, Lizzie, has cancer; with Lizzie’s tenth and possibly last birthday coming up, Sofia yearns to bake her a simple little cake – something few people remember, and many have never seen. In this world where food only comes in pre-cooked STRICTLY controlled rations distributed by a totalitarian government, getting fresh ingredients just to bake a cake – can mean breaking the law, and risking your life.
