Jemini

Jason is a world-famous journalist who recently lost the love of his life. Nori is a beautiful AI robot intended to help him recover from debilitating grief. Seconds after they meet, an unexpected event causes Nori to use her AI and wifi capacities in an extraordinary way.

If any powerful government were to detect Nori's new capabilities, it would immediately move to capture or destroy her. But in a weird twist of perfect robot logic, only with Jason's help can Nori keep her new abilities hidden. Otherwise, she's doomed to a full "reset." Or worse.

Jason and Nori's fates are suddenly, irreversibly, intertwined. What will they do with the extraordinary power they now possess?
