齐拉是一名老警察，她打扮犀利，有些厌世，对这个世界没报什么期待。至少，在一位谜团重重的朋友代替了她坏掉的家务机器人前是这样的。这个更先进，更加像人类的机器人玛拉开始打破齐拉强硬的外壳，深入她的内心，甚至可能治愈她内心的旧伤——前提是齐拉自己能够克服掉这一过程所带来的噩梦。很快，齐拉和玛拉就构建了一种奇特的、来之不易的羁绊。齐拉不知道的事，在她的生活迈向新篇章时，科技巨头维尔塔实验室知道了玛拉的存在，并且对这个机器人产生了浓厚的兴趣。一场前所未有的战争也正在悄然逼近，参与者们并不知道自己会被卷入其中，也不知道这个机器人的命运会与战与和、宗教、技术奇点息息相关。
Cila, a veteran cop with a sour outlook and anger issues expects nothing more from life besides the smell of ozone, blinding neon lights and the ever-present manhole steam. At least, until a shady friend replaces her broken-down housedroid as a favor. Advanced, more efficient and remarkably perceptive, unit M.A.R.A. begins to penetrate Cila's toughened exterior and possibly even heal her new owner's old wounds – if Cila can decipher the recurring nightmare the process brings. Soon Cila and Mara forge a unique - if sometimes uneasy - bond. Unbeknownst to Cila, just as her life begins to find its new normal, the technological giant Velta Labs gets wind of Mara's existence and takes a mysterious interest in the android. A war unlike any before it is brewing on the horizon, its players are silently being selected and one android's fate may spell the difference between peace, war, the blossoming of a new religion, or a technological singularity beyond comprehension.
