The ingenious and uncompromising scientist Pouya and her friend Joro are trying to create the perfect simulation - a new world. In the process, they enter into a battle with the mega-corporation, RenJi. It is a battle Pouya can only win if she merges with the machine, the AI EXIT, and becomes the impulse for the emergence of the new world herself.

Synopsis
Berlin in the future: densely packed people wearing masks against smog and viruses, flesh and technology fused together. The scientist Pouya almost drowned as a little girl. It was a moment when the highly gifted girl sensed a connection with something higher, a feeling which she chases with her research: locked in her lab by her agoraphobia, Pouya wants to find an impulse that will make her simulation, an exact replica of that lake, a reality. When headhunter Claire Mitchell of the tech company "RenJi" wants her research for herself, Pouya can only count on her friend Joro. Together with him, Pouya comes up with a solution: she wants to pair her house AI EXIT with herself. But while she's still fighting off the AI, which seems to have a plan of its own, and the encroaching Claire, Pouya realizes that in order to unleash the impulse, she'll have to make a greater sacrifice. Pouya must drown in the lake of the simulation in order to regain underwater the impulse she felt as a child. She can only get to the other side by merging with the machine. In this way, she sets in motion the evolution that will dissolve the boundaries between reality and simulation, past and future, memory and now.
