A gripping and heartbreaking tale.
When Harriet takes a job looking after Oliver, an android who looks just like a six-year-old boy, her aim is to earn enough money to leave her wealthy and abusive husband and start afresh. But she wasn't aware Oliver would be so lifelike, and didn't expect him to fill the void in her traumatic life. They develop such a close bond that Oliver isn't merely a robot to her. She sees him as a real boy - one she's grown to love as her own son.
As the job contract comes to an end, Harriet's faced with a difficult decision: return Oliver to the company that developed him, or risk everything to keep him while fleeing her husband's wrath.
Harriet is forced to fight for a love that society insists isn't real, questioning not only her humanity, but what it means to be a mother.
