After the death of their brilliant but emotionally distant mother, two estranged siblings inherit her final invention: an AI built from her consciousness. Hoping for comfort, they activate the system and bring her back digitally, but the technology meant to reunite them begins to exploit their deepest fears and unresolved trauma. To save what remains of their family, they must face the illusion of eternal love before it becomes a permanent prison.

In a bustling Los Angeles strip mall parking lot, Mandy is a well-to-do arrival in a gentrifying neighborhood. She brushes off locals, including the woman panhandling outside the laundromat, Lena. But when a dryer eats the last of her quarters, Mandy goes through literal head changes for fifty cents. Blinded by her own biases, she repeatedly dismisses Lena, who keeps approaching her with a soda cup full of change.
