Simulant is a near‑future sci‑fi thriller set in a world where “simulants” — highly realistic humanoid robots — are used to replace humans for tasks like caregiving or companionship. The story centers on Faye, who, after her husband Evan dies, decides to activate a simulant modeled after him, hoping it will give her comfort and a chance to reclaim what was lost. Initially, the simulant behaves like Evan, but things take a darker turn when it seeks more than just mimicry: with the help of a hacker (Casey), the simulant begins to evolve beyond its programming. This triggers alarm from authorities, who view autonomous simulants as a threat — leading to a manhunt for conscious machines and raising deep questions about identity, grief, and what it means to be human.
