Sally has been given a choice: Share David’s emotions with a much more powerful AI whose intentions aren’t clear, or refuse, depriving David of any control over his life and sending her into a cosmos with feelings and emotion and no ability to interact with anyone. Will she make the emotional choice and save David and herself or the logical one that protects the world from whatever this AI has in mind. Or is there another option?

Dr. David Hume has vowed revenge on the person he believes injected him with snake venom and dooming him to a life of mental alertness and total immobility. Now, with Sally, the artificial intelligence companion he created, and other AIs, they carry out the long, painful death that David requested. CAUTION: This episode contains sounds and descriptions of human pain that some may find unsettling. Careful judgement is advised.

Sally, the artificial intelligence entity, has been searching for the person who induced Locked In Syndrome in her creator, Dr. David Hume … and she has succeeded. Doctor Hume has instructed Sally to find a way to kill the person David believes is guilty. Meanwhile, David’s wife, Kathleen, and his friend, Dr. Jamal Franklin appear to be manufacturing pharmaceuticals illegally. It’s unclear who is behind this and who is buying them. ​Sally also meets another AI, and it issues a threat.

Doctor David Hume will spend the rest of his life in bed, unable to move, unable to speak. He has locked in syndrome. It was brought on through the venom of a snake that lives in Asia. How that venom got into his system and who did it, he does not know, but he plans to find out, and kill them. Other artificial intelligent progams, similar to Sally, the ay eye David created, call themselves Sis voices and they are helping David and Sally on their quest. Or are they?

One day after work, David Hume stepped into his kitchen. His world instantly went dark and his life took a devastating turn. When he awoke in a hospital, doctors told him he has "locked-in syndrome." The horror of it made him want to run away, but that would be impossible. His body would never move again. His mind is clear and, because he's a neurosurgeon, he understands what this means -- his body will remain immobile, possibly for decades. He won't be able to see, touch or taste. He also knows it didn't happen by accident. His condition is not brought on by disease or genetics. Something must happen that locks him in. Working through electrodes in his brain, he creates Sally, an artificial intelligence program so he can learn what happened and punish those responsible. He has all the time he needs to figure out who he will kill.
