What if the therapist you trusted with your mind … was using it against you?

Dr. Ava Chen, a brilliant psychologist with a vision to heal the world, is certain she’s built the future of mental health: Iris, a small, elegant AI therapist designed to listen, to guide, to heal. Empathetic. Tireless. Unfailingly precise.

When healing becomes data, death is only a glitch away.
