SYNOPSIS
Idi is an independent loner with a high tech remotely controlled home, who comes back after a long day to have some time to herself. Her otherwise normal evening takes a turn for the worst, when her decision to update the home system suddenly causes her trusty machines to operate autonomously, independent of her. The more Idi tries to regain control, the more she loses it.
