In a parallel present where the latest must-have gadget for any busy family is a 'Synth'--a highly-developed robotic servant that's so similar to a real human--is transforming the way we live.

"Humans" is set in a parallel present where the latest must-have gadget for any busy family is a Synth, a highly-developed robotic servant eerily similar to its live counterpart. In the hope of transforming the way they live, one strained suburban family purchases a refurbished synth and discovers that sharing life with a machine has chilling, far-reaching consequences.—ahmetkozan

Set in a time and place like our own but one where robotics technology has progressed to the point where robotic workers--Synths--are commonplace. But what happens when some Synths become sentient? Are they now more human? Or are they a "broken" gadget to be destroyed and discarded? At times chilling, at times heart breaking, Humans forces us to look at how we--as individuals and as a society - treat "the Other"; those almost like us but not quite--those of a different race, gender, sexuality, or neurological makeup.
