In a dystopian world where a shadow government run by Sentient intelligence creates the illusion of order and control through patriarchal oppression and toxic masculinity. Serenity Spa is a new form of therapy that offers men an outlet for their rage through hyper-realistic therapy sessions with the use of Therapy Bots. But when financial constraints lead Spa to replace androids with real women, Heather becomes a victim thrust into a harrowing journey of survival and resistance.
