When the beautiful Coppélia walks into a police station claiming she’s been assaulted, there’s something about her that doesn’t quite seem right. Detective Inspector Karen Chambers, head of the department's Sexdroid Unit, is brought in to question her, and quickly confirms that Coppélia is an android. But why would a sexbot claim rape? Surely an android cannot be raped.
But Coppélia is no ordinary android.
As a friendship slowly develops between human and android, the search for Coppélia’s origin and purpose draws Karen into a mystery that will change her life forever and asks questions of society’s relationship with artificial intelligence and, indeed, of the very definition of life itself.
