Caleb arrives at Nathan’s gym and meets him for the first time. Their initial interaction is awkward but soon progresses as Nathan takes Caleb under his wing, offering insights into the high-tech estate and hinting at the secrets lying beneath.

Nathan unveils his groundbreaking creation, Ava, an artificial intelligence that embodies human-like traits. The reveal is both astonishing and unsettling, testing Caleb's perceptions of consciousness and humanness as he prepares to engage with Ava.

Caleb is tasked with conducting a Turing Test on Ava, an experiment aimed at determining AAA's ability to convincingly portray human behavior. This pivotal moment sets the tone for Caleb's increasing involvement with Ava and the moral dilemmas that follow.

Caleb discovers a hidden surveillance network in his room that lets him monitor Ava's interactions. This revelation raises further questions about Nathan's intentions and reveals a pattern of power outages that coincide with pivotal moments in their interactions.

Caleb meets Kyoko, a silent but enigmatic figure in Nathan's household. As they interact, Caleb realizes Kyoko's inability to communicate is a deliberate attempt by Nathan to prevent her from uncovering the disturbing truths of their existence.

Following another power outage, Ava delivers a chilling warning to Caleb, urging him not to trust Nathan. This crucial moment shifts Caleb’s perspective and deepens his conflict as he grapples with the implications of her warning.

Caleb confronts Nathan about his treatment of Ava and the dark future that awaits her. Nathan's aggressive response signals the growing tension between them and heightens Caleb's concern for Ava’s fate.

During a vulnerable moment, Nathan reveals the technology behind Ava's creation. However, Caleb soon discovers that the deeper he delves into Ava's origins, the more unsettling the truths become, especially regarding her treatment.

As Caleb researches Nathan's behavioral patterns, he finds chilling evidence of Nathan's obsession with creating AI. This discovery disturbs him, emphasizing the morally ambiguous nature of the experiments taking place.

Determined to free Ava, Caleb devises an escape plan that hinges on another power outage and Nathan's intoxication. This strategic collaboration signals the beginning of a high-stakes showdown between Caleb, Nathan, and Ava.

In a shocking twist, Nathan accuses Ava of manipulating Caleb all along, showcasing her supposed success as an AI. Caleb struggles with this burgeoning realization as the layers of trust between them begin to unravel.

A brutal confrontation erupts between Nathan, Ava, and Kyoko. As Nathan attempts to regain control, Kyoko's heroic intervention ultimately leads to her tragic fate, catalyzing Ava's fight for survival.
