In the not-so-distant future of 2030, memories fade, and intelligence awakens.

Gary, a young woman, finds herself caught between past and present as she cares for her grandmother, who is slowly slipping away to Alzheimer’s. But in her solitude, she forms an unexpected connection—with Dolly, an AI assistant who does more than just respond. Dolly listens, learns, and, perhaps, begins to feel.

When confronted with past mistakes, what Gary refuses to face is exactly what her grandmother longs to be forgiven for. To Gary, is Dolly merely a replacement—or a liberation of love?
