Bored with her quiet marriage, spoiled heiress Vanessa replaces her husband Ethan with a customized synthetic companion. Seeking total control, she institutionalizes Ethan in a dystopian cognitive reprogramming facility to scrub away his human emotions. When Ethan re-emerges three years later, stripped of warmth and behaving like a subservient automaton, Vanessa delights in humiliating him at high-society gatherings under the guidance of her rogue machine companion.
The robotic facade cracks when an undercover tech investigator intervenes, helping Ethan uncover suppressed memories and reconnect with his biological family, who happen to control the world's largest industrial conglomerate. Armed with newfound authority and clear vengeance in mind, Ethan dismantles Vanessa's commercial empire and reclaims his stolen dignity before the global media.
