- Plot
- At 10:10 pm, a man from the future enters a Los Angeles diner, claiming this is his 117th attempt to stop an AI-driven apocalypse by assembling the correct group of patrons.
- He recruits several diners and escapes a police standoff, losing Bob in the process.
- Through flashbacks, the group’s lives reveal a shared theme of technological harm:
- Mark and Janet face hive-like smartphone addiction among students.
- Susan, grieving her son’s death, encounters unsettling cloning and AI resurrection technology.
- Ingrid suffers a severe allergy to electronics and lost her partner to virtual reality obsession.
- The man explains that a cloned nine-year-old boy will create an AI that consumes humanity in virtual reality, leading to societal collapse. The goal is to install a security protocol, not stop the AI entirely.
- As they reach the boy, most of the group is killed. Ingrid ultimately rejects the AI’s promise of a better future — and the revelation that the time traveler is her future son — and installs the protocol.
- A seemingly happy ending is revealed to be an AI illusion. The man resets the timeline again and concludes the real solution may be to eliminate humanity’s dependence on technology by making everyone allergic to it.
