Future Darkly: Virtual Immorality

A bereaved woman named Lilah bids farewell to her stepson Darryl before he heads back to university, and in the following weeks, she finds herself growing increasingly desolate in his absence. Craving closeness and longing to fill the void in her life, Lilah seeks guidance from her pal Justine, who suggests delving into A.I. companionship as a potential solution. Feeling a deep need for both emotional and physical connection, Lilah immerses herself in the world of cutting-edge technology, embracing various innovations to satisfy her desires. She stumbles upon an A.I. companion that mirrors the likeness of Darryl, leading her to develop profound feelings for this artificial being. When Darryl finally returns home for a visit, Lilah is irrevocably fixated on her virtual love affair - making it necessary for him to resurface her to reality by offering her a genuine version of the illicit relationship she has grown dependent on.
