When the world refuses to let a star die, it builds something to replace her.
After the death of actress Tessa Hawthorne, a synthetic continuation wakes up years later...perfectly engineered to perform, speak, and exist on command. But fragments of memory begin to surface: a childhood trailer in Idaho, a grandmother’s kitchen, a death that doesn’t match the official story.
As the line between machine and person collapses, buried truths emerge about ownership, control, and what it means to be kept alive for profit. This episode explores identity, memory, and the terrifying cost of immortality...through the eyes of something that was never meant to remember.
