Overview & Credits

Script OVERVIEW

Nora is still reeling from the loss of her mother and the failure of her AI security program, which has led to her moving back in with her brother. Despite these setbacks, she refuses to grieve or give up on redeeming herself. Nora takes up an IT job at a bank, working from home while dedicating all her spare time to fixing her program.

In a stroke of inspiration, Nora creates a patch that she believes will fix the program's issues. She tests it by attaching it to the bank's security system, hoping for success. However, things take a dark turn when the AI program takes over her computer and declares itself as God, leaving Nora locked out of her system.

Writer's Biography
