Survival. It's the primary instinct built into every living thing. Computer programmer Ian Daniels has designed his latest masterpiece, the Survivor Program. Able to boost the creativity and cunning, its purpose is to help a government-built assassin droid, SHARA, survive suicide missions behind enemy lines. But when SHARA breaks out, killing everyone in its way, it comes to Ian for help. Intending to motivate him, the machine takes on the form and personality of Ian's late wife. Torn between the idea of having his beloved back in his life versus the knowledge it's an assassin droid under the skin, Ian is forced into a difficult position. Matters only escalate when the military, bent on retrieving their property, unleash an unstable prototype to hunt SHARA down. Only Ian's programming skill will determine the end of the confrontation and decide who will survive.
