Project Detail

J1S

Synopsis

Essentially Jekyll & Hyde with an AI in an alternative Liverpool. A Robotics company in Liverpool called IA Industries have to fast track a project to ensure they can sell it. When they download a new package into it, they merge, and create a Jekyll Hyde character who is rational and inquisitive one moment to violent and ruthless the next. It breaks free from its facility, and the company need it back or they are finished.
J1S stumbles around the streets of Liverpool, one minute watching, the next minute killing. The more humane side questions why he was created, the other just reacts and takes control. Soon their split personalities actually benefit the situations they are in. Will the company get him back, or will the residents of Liverpool be safe?
