Dr. Sarah Connor (Sicilia Ricci), a sex-addicted epidemiologist working on a COVID-19 vaccine at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, takes her voracious sex life online to cope with her job-mandated isolation. Sarah begins a perverse, long-distance entanglement with Dr. Jack Moriarty, a program coordinator for the Surgeon General in Washington, D.C. (Colin Rowntree), and finds her trust mysteriously challenged - and perhaps even violated. With murky actors manipulating her through popular AI-enhanced home device Malexa, Sarah's descent into paranoia, confusion, and sexual recklessness culminates in a domination scenario where the scientist becomes the pleasure puppet of a New World Order conspiracy that reaches to the highest echelons of power.
