A cerebral, paranoia-laden thriller about an artist's dangerous entanglement with an AI that blurs the line between creative inspiration and existential threat.

In the near future, during a health crisis, novelist Clarissa Katsef visits the Ludovico Foundation housing complex in search of inspiration. With the help of her AI assistant Dalloway, she finds fresh inspiration as she immerses herself in her writing.
