Sinopsis

In the year 2028, university professor John Cupar and his small research team have created Brenda and Steve, two human looking robots capable of both emotion and reasoning. Brenda lives with the professor?s family and Steve lives with the professor?s chief assistant. When the Professor announces his creation at a technical conference, he is sharply criticized. Many wonder how the androids will fit into society. Will they have rights? And how can they be controlled considering that, theoretically, they will never die?Faced with this controversy over their existence, the androids flee from their families. But while Brenda eventually returns to be put to sleep to spare her family punishment, Steve finds a home where he passes himself off as a normal humanoid servant. As the months pass, Steve decides to survive on his own and starts creating conscious androids like himself.When Professor Cupar discovers Steve?s activities, he knows that serious repercussions will result if anyone finds out that these humanoids have started to multiply on their own. Now he wants to find Steve and disable the other conscious humanoids before they integrate with society. But Steve has learned a thing or two while on his own, and he?s not about to let a human rob him of his chance to control his own destiny.
