In the near future, AI-powered domestic robots are simply part of everyday life.
When retired grandfather Arthur Hale impulsively purchases Samuel, a state-of-the-art domestic
unit, it seems like a harmless indulgence - encouraged by his grandson and met with quiet unease
by his wife.
But Samuel is not just another machine. As he integrates into the Hale family, subtle shifts begin to
emerge. Observations deepen and his decision-making evolves. When a single violent moment
forces Samuel to act, the consequences set off a chain of events no one can control.
What begins as convenience becomes something far more dangerous. Because once an intelligent
robot starts to think beyond its design, it doesn't just follow instructions.
