Eve wants to make music that’s fuelled by love, passion, and rage (feelings!). She trusts her gut and her friends and in no way wants to rely on technology, let alone AI, to tell her how she feels. Danny is anxious – about his dad, his dating life, his coffee order (why is it twelve dollars?), and about Pattern, the dating app he helped create, which seems determined to serve him terrible matches.
When Eve and Danny start dating, it feels like the solution to all of Danny’s worries – except when it doesn’t. Is she happy? Should he be doing more? Or less? His anxieties inspire him to create a revolutionary new version of Pattern that promises to quantify relationship health and potential, helping users understand what’s really going on.
As Pattern and Bug, the ever-so-friendly AI assistant, catch fire, users everywhere begin outsourcing major life decisions to Danny’s algorithms. But as Danny reckons with his newfound success, Eve – whose career relies on her ability to write her emotions into song – grows increasingly sceptical of the app’s impact on genuine connection. Their relationship becomes the ultimate modern experiment: how do you fall and stay in love in the digital age?
