Storyline
Casting "One Swipe Away", a feel-good Sci-fi Satire about our increasing dependence on technology and the commercialization of love and affection, the story of Tobey, an average loser on a quest for love, willing to cheat and lie to get Anya the girl of his dreams, it all fumbles down once she discovers his treacherous plans with the help of Brodrick, his antic fed up AI virtual assistant.

Short Synopsis

In the near future, a jobless down-on-luck loser employs a pay-to-win app to score a date with an Android girl way above his league.

To keep the facade he employs the help of his AI virtual assistant through increasingly difficult scenarios to make her fall in love.
But his assistant knows better than to play with a girl’s heart and does everything within his power to warn her about his no-good excuse of an owner.

After spending a night together he is forced to come clean once she discovers every single conversation they ever had was fabricated by an A.I. specifically targeted to appeal to her deepest desires.

The android girl of your dreams; pixel perfect by design, flawed by nature. Most people would assume her life is flowers and sunshine just based on her looks, the kind of girl a prince would marry in fairy tales, but if life was that simple her modeling career would have taken off by now, in actuality no matter how beautiful she is there is a million like her out there (Quite literally; as she came off an assembly line), and deep down she is as human as anybody else.

Tired of kissing frogs and desperate to find true love, she believes the dating app Swift might have finally found her a decent man for once.
