In the near-future (or present ?), Sherlock the AI is working with Liz Brown to try to solve her husband's death. Can man and machine work together to unravel the truth? It is indisputable that discussions about Artificial Intelligence (AI) are only going to increase as technologies advance in much more ambitious scales than even sci-fi writers from the past dreamed about. They are also going to open up philosophical questions to ponder: how much power should we give machines ? Are there any areas where automation should be excluded from ? Will the benefits of using such gizmos outweigh the can of worms that it will inevitably open ? —John Babu

Trivia
In the climax shots of the film, Sofia had to use a straw to squirt water on to her phone screen, to replicate tears. According to her, this was one of the hardest portions to film.

Goofs
Although the film's narrative happens at 6PM, the time-stamp on one of the texts show 8:19PM, the time when the conversation was actually filmed. This was missed by the editing team, and found its way to the final film.
