The plot follows detective William Bradwell and his companion Meredith, who gains sentience and confronts manipulated memories while an activist resistance campaigns against the androids' exploitation, casting it as slavery and patriarchal control. This ideological framing elevates the story beyond standard AI sentience narratives by positioning the all-female companions as metaphors for loss of women's bodily autonomy and systemic male dominance, with lines underscoring that the company's success stems from 'men like to fuck.' Creator and star interviews directly link the narrative to commentary on misogyny and historical treatment of women, including real-world fears of men controlling female bodies, making the activist group's fight against injustice a core driver of character arcs and thematic conflict. While the film avoids race or gender swaps of established characters and identity-focused subplots, the progressive lens on female-coded subservience remains foundational to the conflict rather than incidental.
