Synopsis
In the near future, humans and humanoid AIs coexist.
Lux, a first-generation humanoid AI bartender at the entertainment bar BAR LUX, meets Ai, a young woman who has lost her dream—and with it, the confidence to sing.
As Lux begins to develop emotions through his time with Ai, his system gradually becomes unstable. Meanwhile, Nex, a next-generation humanoid AI with the charisma, vocals, and dance skills of a K-pop superstar, arrives at BAR LUX for a one-week free trial. The bar's popularity and sales soar overnight.
To save the business, the owner, Leo, makes the heartbreaking decision to replace Lux with Nex.
But Lux never stops believing in Ai's voice. His unwavering faith gives her the courage to sing again and rediscover her dream.
As a human reclaims her dream, an AI discovers what it means to have a heart.
