In a world where artificial intelligence is on the rise, a brilliant and charismatic technology researcher, Willy, is on the brink of a revolutionary breakthrough. Alongside his wife, Evelyn, and his friend Max, he works to create an artificial intelligence system that can not only learn but also understand and feel emotions. However, the project ignites the curiosity and fear of a group of activists opposed to technology, especially after an attack results in Willy suffering severe damage.
Desperate to save her husband, Evelyn decides to upload Willy's consciousness into the system he created himself. As Willy becomes more advanced and powerful, he begins to transcend the boundaries of technology and ethics, transforming into a new form of life that becomes increasingly difficult to control. His abilities expand, and he starts to influence everything from biotechnology to the internet, raising ethical and moral tensions.
As Max and Evelyn grapple with the consequences of their choices, they must face profound questions about the nature of life, death, and love. The thin line between humanity and machine blurs, leading to a series of events that will challenge their reality. In their quest to understand the meaning of transcendence, they wonder whether what they have created is a boon for humanity or a threat that could lead to its own extinction.
