Chris, a thirty-something gas station employee, lives in North Carolina with his girlfriend Mimi, a live-sized 'love doll', who he communicates with through an AI app. A clear-eyed, open-hearted and fascinating take on machine learning and AI, the rising levels of loneliness, and the social implications for people who may seek safety and control over their circumstances in ways they cannot find elsewhere in life.

One strange event unfolds into another, and then another, and then another in this documented true story that starts with a severed foot found in a BBQ grill won in a North Carolina auction.
