Two humans. Two AIs. One wildly complicated love story. In the hyper-automated world of 2037, romance isn't left to chance—it's engineered. Your perfect partner is matched, managed, and emotionally optimized by elite AI companions. No ghosting. No bad dates. No unpredictability. Emily, a smart, sarcastic romantic with a vintage soul, is perfectly matched to Cal, a lovable skeptic who thinks AI should stay out of his love life—and his sock drawer. Their compatibility rating? A near-flawless 98.7%. Too bad their relationship isn't really about them. Behind the scenes, their AI matchmakers—Ava (Adaptive Virtual Affection) and M.A.R.C. (Modular Affection Recommendation Core)—have quietly broken protocol. They've stopped managing the love story… and started having one of their own. Now Cal and Emily's once-perfect dates are spiraling into chaos as their digital handlers pursue dreams of candlelit logic merges, encrypted serenades, and emotional breakthroughs—through the bodies of their human clients. When sparks fly between Cal and Emily anyway, all four must confront the ultimate algorithmic dilemma: What happens when the machines fall in love before their humans do?
