Annie Bot was created to be the perfect girlfriend for her human owner Doug. Designed to satisfy his emotional and physical needs, she has dinner ready for him every night, wears the pert outfits he orders for her, and adjusts her libido to suit his moods. True, she's not the greatest at keeping Doug's place spotless, but she's trying to please him. She's trying hard. She's learning, too. Doug says he loves that Annie's AI makes her seem more like a real woman, so Annie explores human traits such as curiosity, secrecy, and longing. But becoming more human also means becoming less perfect, and as Annie's relationship with Doug grows more intricate and difficult, she starts to wonder: Does Doug really desire what he says he wants? And in such an impossible paradox, what does Annie owe herself?

Świat to złe miejsce, kochanie. Dziewiętnastoletnia Wren i jej dwie siostry, Sage i Evie zostały wychowane z dala od cywilizacji, w prymitywnej chacie na północy stanu Nowy Jork. Gdy najmłodsza z sióstr zapada na ciężką chorobę, razem z matką opuszczają dom, by znaleźć pomoc. I nigdy nie wracają. Mijają miesiące, a nadzieja gaśnie. Zapasy powoli się kurczą, nadciąga sroga zima. I wtedy pojawia się nieznajomy, który szuka matki dziewcząt. By uciec, Wren i Sage muszą złamać podstawową zasadę, z którą dorastały: nigdy nie wychodzić poza obręb lasu. Docierają do położonego po drugiej stronie lasu domu. Okazuje się, że muszą stawić czoła czemuś o wiele groźniejszemu, niż nieznane otoczenie. Odkryją prawdę, która była przed nimi skrywana, powód swojej ucieczki oraz tajemnice, z których istnienia nie zdawały sobie sprawy przez całe swoje dotychczasowe życie. Nie umrzemy. Nie tutaj. Nie w ten sposób.
