- Synopsis
- The laws governing androids dictate owners must deactivate unwanted simulates. But since Faye already pulled the plug on her late husband, she can’t bring herself to do the same to Evan, his android counterpart. Instead, she sets him up in an apartment to live illegally on his own. While there he meets Casey, a brilliant programmer who helps him become more human in order to get Faye back. Unbeknownst to Evan, his new friend is wanted for questioning by a hardnosed Artificial Intelligence Compliance Enforcement (AICE) agent. Evan has to win over Faye’s heart before they are both discovered and he loses everything.
