In the near future, a brilliant but reclusive scientist, Dr. Eliot Finch, has made a groundbreaking discovery that could alter the essence of human existence. Finch, played with an intense fervor, has developed a technology with the potential to create life, not just any life, but sentient, thinking beings designed from the ground up. Haunted by the tragic loss of his family, which fuels his obsession, he becomes consumed with the notion of engineering a new form of life that could fill the void left behind by his personal tragedies.

Operating from a state-of-the-art, isolated laboratory, Finch recruits a young, ambitious programmer, Ava, whose knack for artificial intelligence coding makes her an invaluable asset to his secretive project. Ava, portrayed with curiosity and a hint of naivety, finds herself enthralled by Finch's vision and the ethical complexities it brings. Their work takes on a new dimension with the arrival of an investigative reporter, Rachel, whose initial skepticism and search for truth slowly give way to conflicted feelings as she learns more about Finch’s past and the potential implications of his work. As the trio delves deeper into the moral maze of creation and responsibility, they are unaware of the looming consequences their success could unleash upon the world.
