A melancholic sci-fi thriller about grief and obsession, exploring whether love can transcend death through artificial consciousness.

2038: George Almore is working on a true human-equivalent AI, and his latest prototype is almost ready. This sensitive phase is also the riskiest as he has a goal that must be hidden at all costs—being reunited with his dead wife.
