A gothic reimagining of Frankenstein that explores creation, autonomy, and obsessive love through the eyes of an artificial woman caught between two men's competing visions of her.

Doctor Frankenstein creates a mate for his monster, a woman called Eva, who promptly rejects the male creature. In turn, the doctor becomes obsessed with Eva, and tries to make her a perfect Victorian woman.
