In the isolation of a dorm room, Thomas and Liz work diligently on their final project which they hope will deliver them recognition, guaranteed job placement, and of course a passing grade. As time wears on, dreams become reality in the form of two glowing red eyes as one of Thomas' late night experiments yields an initial success. In Cherish Rhodes' playwriting debut the audience joins our protagonists on a journey of ambition, drive, artificial intelligence, and what really defines human nature.
