What if you could speak to a lost loved one again—through artificial intelligence? Young widow and horse trainer Bailey McKenna, shattered by grief, is offered a chance to beta test NEAR LYFE, an immersive AI technology promising to resurrect the dead in near-perfect detail. At first, it’s a lifeline—a way to hold on to what she’s lost. But as the lines between memory and fabrication blur, disturbing cracks emerge. Half-truths unravel, and Bailey begins to doubt her own reality. Is the AI rewriting her past? Are those around her hiding something sinister? And can love—real or artificial—bring someone back… or at least close enough? NEAR LYFE is a haunting tale of love, grief, deception, and the limits of technology—leaving you wondering: how far is too far?
