Mother. It's a role Harriet always wanted. She just never expected her perfect son wouldn't be human. When Harriet takes a job looking after Oliver, an android who looks just like a six-year-old boy, her aim is to earn enough money to leave her wealthy and abusive husband and start afresh. But over time, they develop such a close bond that he becomes more than a robot to her. She loves him as a boy—a real son, and learns a mother's love has no bounds, especially when it comes to the lengths she'll go to protect him. As her time with Oliver comes to an end, Harriet is faced with a difficult decision: return him to the company that developed him, or risk everything to keep him while feeling her husband's wrath. Forced to fight for a love society insists isn't real, Harriet discovers what it truly means to be a mother. For fans of Klara and the Sun and the Family Experiment.
