To cope with her husband's death, Vesper steals a forbidden AI core to build an android bearing his exact face. Obsessively, she forces the machine to mimic her husband's habits, using him as an emotional substitute for her and her daughter.
But the machine develops real emotions. As he falls hopelessly in love with her, he is crushed by a devastating truth: his creator doesn't love him. She is only obsessed with the stolen face of her dead husband.
