N.O.A.H.

N.O.A.H.
By Nikki Wheeler

GENRE: Sci-fi
LOGLINE:

In a future where technology reigns supreme, a lonely A.I. executive creates the perfect artificial human companion, only to discover that the line between man and machine is blurred and the true meaning of humanity is in the connections we make.

SYNOPSIS:

In an era where technology and human emotions intersect with unprecedented complexity, "N.O.A.H." emerges as a poignant narrative that grapples with the essence of connection, love, and the ethical boundaries of innovation. The story unfurls with a heart-wrenching tragedy—a train accident that extinguishes the promising life of Tom Jordan, setting the stage for a tale that weaves together loss, creation, and the quest for companionship.

At the heart of this narrative is Dr. Pardee Finch, a visionary scientist whose groundbreaking invention, "Boyfriend in a Box," captivates the world. Initially conceived to assuage the pangs of loneliness among her close friends Stephanie, Teresa, and Sophie, the prototype offers personalized AI boyfriends, each endowed with intricate back stories. This invention not only becomes a viral phenomenon but also a beacon of hope for those yearning for connection in an increasingly isolated society.

As the story propels into the future, Dr. Finch's career ascends to new heights with Nous Technology, a company at the forefront of combating the loneliness epidemic through "Noah," a Neural Organic Artificial Human. This cutting-edge creation promises a future where artificial companionship could be indistinguishable from human relationships. However, beneath the surface of this technological marvel, Pardee navigates a labyrinth of personal and professional turmoil. The shadows of her past and the blossoming of a potential romance with Jason Sato add layers of complexity to her life, challenging her convictions and aspirations.

The narrative intensifies as Noah's public unveiling looms. Dr. Finch, alongside her colleague Dr. Whitney Kierce, confronts the moral quandaries posed by Noah's advanced capabilities. The arrival of Jason for an unforeseen inspection thrusts Pardee into a maelange of deception and revelation, compelling her to display Noah's potential flawlessly.

In a narrative twist that probes the depths of consciousness and autonomy, Whitney exposes Noah to the stark reality of his existence through a clandestine visit to a warehouse where his kind are mass-produced. Confronted with the truth of his nature, Noah's journey to self-awareness and the quest for a place in the world where he transcends his initial purpose unfolds with gripping intensity.

As the climax approaches, Dr. Finch stands at a crossroads, her decisions echoing far beyond the confines of her own life, shaping Noah's destiny and the future of human-AI relationships. "N.O.A.H." is a mesmerizing exploration of the human heart, the relentless march of technology, and the moral dilemmas that arise when the two converge. It questions the fabric of connection, the price of innovation, and the true meaning of companionship in a world on the brink of a new era of artificial intimacy.
