What it’s about. A San Francisco, dans le futur. Les progrès technologiques ont permis la création de robots destinés à accomplir des missions militaires périlleuses. Très perfectionnés, ces engins peuvent non seulement se passer de toute assistance humaine, mais éprouver toutes sortes de sentiments et, même, prendre des décisions importantes. Lors d'un test, le robot Eve VIII, créé par la scientifique Eve Simmons à sa propre image, subit un grave traumatisme qui le libère soudain de tout contrôle. Eve VIII commence à errer dans les rues de la ville, expérimentant les tourments émotionnels de sa créatrice. Or, celle-ci est hantée par les souvenirs d'une enfance pénible, marquée par la disparition de sa mère et l'éloignement affectif de son père. Revivant le passé de la jeune femme, le robot sent naître en lui un terrible désir de vengeance...
