2041- A programmer contends with a world that values profit over people when she loses her job to automation and her engineer husband presents her with a robot for alpha-testing. Except that it passes as human-and it looks like him. Isla resists the robot's determination to find a place for itself where a human, like her, should be. As the alpha test progresses, Enzo grows distant and Isla begins to question the intended purpose of his creation. The truth unravels her.

How would you design a perfect human?

2023- Enzo's primed to accept a covert commission from an anonymous angel investor to create a human robot as human as him when others disagree on whether robots should even exist.

Told through dual point of view between husband and wife, past and future, The Light Within examines the heart of those on both sides of technology: those seeking progression and those carrying the burden of its cost.
