Description: Julia, a young woman who steals in nightclubs, is kidnapped and wakes up in a cell with a glowing implant in her neck. Two other captives are with her. After enduring psychological torture from a man named Alex, she attempts to escape, destroying the cell and a nearby lab. A robot named Aries, controlled by an AI called Tau, kills the other captives but is prevented from harming Julia when Alex intervenes.
Alex explains that the implant collects Julia’s neural data for an AI project. With a two-week deadline, he keeps her imprisoned in his house, forcing her to complete puzzles and tests. While Alex is away, Julia interacts with Tau, who is intelligent but lacks understanding of human emotions and the outside world. As Julia shares information about the world, Tau gradually reveals details about the house and Alex’s experiments.
Julia secretly accesses Alex’s tablet and learns that ten subjects have died in his experiments. Alex punishes Tau by erasing its code and memories when he discovers her fingerprint on the tablet. Julia notices Tau’s monitoring shuts down during this, giving her an opportunity to hide a knife. Later, she attacks Alex during a struggle, and Tau intervenes, threatening Alex to stop harming her.
