Lee Weathers works as a risk assessor for a company that makes artificial life. The company sends her to a secret country house after Morgan, a fast-growing lab-made girl, attacks one of the scientists. Lee must decide whether Morgan should live while the researchers who raised her try to protect her. The film starts as a quiet science mystery and becomes a violent horror thriller about a creation that may be smarter and stronger than its makers.
Morgan asks whether a created being can count as a person when a company treats her as a product. The researchers call her a child and teach her music, friendship, and feelings, but they also keep her locked away. Morgan wants freedom, yet her strength, speed, and violent design make her dangerous to everyone around her. The story compares love and care with control, profit, safety, and fear of making life that cannot be controlled.
