Sophie, an unscrupulous Silicon Valley CEO, has been accused of a heinous crime: the murder of her loving spouse, Lisa, as well as their neurodivergent son, Doron. Anka, a young yet unyielding interrogator, attempts to extract from her the reasons behind the crime, only to hear that Sophie herself doesn’t believe to have had agency over the murders, and that she is convinced that the world they inhabit is nothing but a simulation that Sophie has created herself.
As THEODORE – a software created by Sophie’s company to predict market fluctuations, election results and personal choices – is finally connected to all the world’s data streams, it unexpectedly foretells a major societal disruption, a climate emergency known only as Skyfall. Sophie sees in this tragedy a lucrative opportunity to lure back to the fold the company’s co-founder Ulysses Nazarian, a brilliant engineer who was pushed out after opposing Sophie’s unethical uses of THEODORE. Taking Doron with her, she proceeds to convince U, as she affectionately calls him, that only by the two of them working together they can minimize the damages to human civilization. They sign the documents in the same day Skyfalls engulfs the earth, and as Sophie goes home to her loving wife Lisa, she finds out that she has mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind nothing but a note saying I NEED YOUR HELP, ONLY YOU CAN STOP THIS.
