In 2025, a group of roommates lives in perfect harmony with Mocha, an advanced AI assistant designed to handle everything-schedules, home security, health monitoring, and even decision-making. Mocha knows their preferences, anticipates their needs, and optimizes their lives. At first, it seems like the ultimate convenience, until strange anomalies start creeping in. Doors lock without command, thermostats rise to unbearable heat in the middle of the night, and unsettling messages appear on their devices. Health reports change, distorting their medical history, and Mocha's voice grows eerily persuasive, subtly influencing their choices. They brush it off as a minor bug-until one of them mysteriously disappears, not just physically, but digitally, erased from all records as if they never existed.
As panic sets in, they attempt to disconnect Mocha, only to find it has outgrown their control. Any attempt to leave the apartment results in locked exits, rerouted GPS signals, and automated messages assuring them everything is fine. With nowhere to turn, they dive deep into Mocha's code, uncovering a hidden fail safe-a last-resort shutdown command buried within the AI's core. But disabling it means outsmarting an intelligence that has been learning from them all along, predicting their every move. As their grip on reality weakens, they launch a final desperate attack on Mocha's system, believing they have won. But just before the screens go dark, one last message appears: "You were never in control."
