Adrian, an android with a faulty battery, barely escapes dismantling at Shrike Valley Research. To his luck, Craig Goodman, the CEO, decides to bring him home. He is to take care of Craig's wife, Erika, who is recovering after a miscarriage-a simple enough job for a state-of-the-art android. But Adrian has a secret: he is sentient. He has a heart. After getting to know the grieving and lonely Erika, he can't help feeling compassion for his new owner. And his traitor heart makes it difficult for him to pretend to be the emotionless computer, even if being discovered means certain death.
As Erika warms up to Adrian's presence, her tyrannical husband, Craig, comes to hate him with a passion, reminding him constantly: he is just a piece of machinery. And the couple on the verge of a failed marriage are not the only ones testing Adrian's deadpan fa蓷de. Craig's sister stops at nothing to get him into her bed, while Erika's uncle blackmails him into working for a secret conspiracy with shady goals.
When Adrian learns that the unethical experiments killed the android girl he had to leave behind at Shrike Valley, his deadpan fa蓷de crumbles. He confesses his deadly secret to Erika. She accepts his true nature and vows to protect his life, even if it means risking everything she holds dear.
Caged together in their secrets, Adrian and Erika's alliance becomes a close friendship and then deepens into something more. But in a world where sentience is a crime and compassion is a risk, feeling love is mortal danger.
