A noir-tinged sci-fi thriller that uses an AI companion's awakening to explore grief, identity, and the blurred line between human and artificial consciousness.

A grieving detective in the near-future hunts down criminals who trade artificial humans on the black market. In the fight to end AI exploitation, an underground resistance attempts to infiltrate him by sabotaging the programming of the artificial human assigned as his companion to behave like his late wife. She begins to question her reality as memories of a past life begin to surface in a world where nothing is as it seems.
