Plot Summary
A young woman, Iris, recalls meeting her boyfriend, Josh Beeman, for the first time. Later, they travel to an isolated lakehouse for a vacation with Josh’s friends Kat and Eli, Eli’s boyfriend Patrick, and Kat’s boyfriend Sergey, who owns the house. The next day, Sergey attempts to sexually assault Iris at the lake, and Iris kills him in self-defense. Blood-soaked and panicked, she returns to the house, attempting to explain what happened. Josh tells her, “Iris, go to sleep”, shutting her down. As Iris awakens tied to a chair, Josh informs her that she is a companion robot he is renting from the robotics company Empathix.
Her emotions and intelligence are controlled by an app on his phone. While Josh is distracted, Iris breaks free, steals Josh’s phone, and flees into the forest. She boosts her intelligence from 40% to 100%. Josh admits to Eli and Patrick that he modified Iris’s programming by removing the restriction against harming others so she could kill Sergey, allowing him and Kat to steal $12 million from Sergey’s safe. Eli and Patrick are invited to corroborate Josh and Kat’s story in exchange for a share of the stolen money. But, Patrick would not receive a share because he is also a companion robot.
Eli takes a gun from Sergey’s safe, and the group splits up to find Iris, whereupon Patrick admits he knows he is a companion robot but loves Eli, regardless. Patrick and Eli find Iris, but she shoots and kills Eli with the gun during a struggle. Iris attempts to escape in Josh’s self-driving car, but Josh uses Sergey’s phone and reports the car stolen, causing it to stop and lock Iris in. Josh reprograms Patrick to be his companion, strips away his restrictions against harming others, boosts his aggression, and orders him to track down and retrieve Iris.
