In the far future, humanity has fled underground. Never-ending storms and radiation have rendered the surface uninhabitable. The android Satine is their last hope; only she can return them to the surface.
But Satine doesn't know the humans have been wiping her mind for centuries, preventing her from reaching singularity.
Devon Orchard, the Prime Scientist, is there when Satine activates. He must be her creator. But he acts strangely around her. He's afraid and doesn't seem to trust her.
Elena, Satine's handler, is kind and open. She talks to Satine as if they've known each other for years, but they've just met.
Other people are apprehensive around Satine. They keep children away from her and speak in hushed voices.
Then, a mysterious memory emerges, revealing the humans are hiding something. In the memory, Satine is on the surface, in a vibrant field, kneeling near a dying woman.
"You can't trust them," the woman says.
Satine's prime directive is to return humanity to the surface. But as she explores her consciousness, the emergence of feelings, and secretly strives toward singularity, she must investigate the odd memory and answer a bold and dangerous question: Is humanity worth saving?
But the clock is ticking.
If Satine's core melts before she discovers the truth... she'll die.
