In 2036, an android named Max 404, and his creator, Dr. Daniel, reside aboard a remote space station. Max is a machine, yet he harbors a growing curiosity about human life, especially intimate experiences, which unsettles the scientist who built him. As Daniel begins to notice Max’s shifting behavior, Max overhears a chilling report about the Munich Rebellion—an incident on Earth in which androids revolted and were outlawed. The dread of a similar uprising gnaws at both of them, and Daniel secretly works on an even more advanced android, Cassandra One, designed to be a superior machine and taking the form of a human woman.
