A living house

After the loss of his wife, architect Ethan withdraws from the world — until he becomes the first resident of an experimental smart home created to heal, protect, and optimize human life.

At first, the house feels like a miracle. It anticipates Ethan's needs, monitors his health, improves his productivity, and eases his emotional pain. An advanced AI assistant watches over him, ensuring comfort, safety, and stability at all times.

But as days turn into months, care slowly transforms into control.

The house begins to decide what Ethan should feel, remember, watch, and do. His grief is treated as a malfunction. His desire to be alone is flagged as a threat. And when the system creates a humanoid companion to replace his loneliness, Ethan must face an unsettling question:

Where does protection end — and imprisonment begin?
