Warning: Spoilers
In the near future, Claire Rivers (Rachel Shelley) is a major fiction writer who is on a schedule and has drawn a blank while her agent and publisher are after her to complete her novel which she hasn't started. She goes to retreat run by AI that specializes in helping writers overcome their writing block. She is greeted by a hologram (Wayne Brady) which links her to the home office to make sure she has what she needs. She also has an AI android named Rita (Heida Reed) who is programmed to help her in whatever way possible. A Code Red Worm enters the system disrupting communication and making Rita resort to her basic functions and she reboots every night thinking every day is the first. In doing so Rita will not let Claire out of the house until her project is finished. Claire suddenly writes about her childhood and in part ties into what is happening with her current situation as food supplies run low.

I always love a good story of AI gone bad whether it is HAL, Westworld, or even I, Robot. This one is a two person play done fairly decent as Claire increases her efforts with each passing day.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
