A brilliant U.S-educated Brazilian programmer returns home seeking redemption after a failed research project. A machine-learning expert, she hopes to implement autonomous vehicles in Brazil, but is soon faced with impossible ethical challenges when the machines begin to mirror the corruption of a society she no longer understands. In order to fix this problem, she’ll have to get back in touch with herself and the land she left behind.
