[season 1] In the near-future, mankind succeeds in curing A.I.D.S. However, something much worse fills the void, an aggressive sickness that only affects females. Though only 50% of Earth's population is at risk of contracting M.A.I.D.S., the illness impacts everyone. World War III begins as panic-stricken governments seize healthy females in order to ensure the survival of their people, but even warfare and forced breeding programs can't halt the inevitable: mankind is dying out. An international team of scientists combine existing technologies, theories, and desperation to create Synthia, a synthetic human female capable of M.A.I.D.S.-free existence and, most importantly, reproduction. Biomechanical humans, dubbed Synthias, are mass-produced, and mankind's population begins to slowly increase after being decimated by the illness and war. The cost of salvation is souls. Synthias are denied basic human rights because they are manufactured, not born. After staging an unsuccessful uprising, the facilities where Synthias are mass-produced undergo great changes. Synthia manufactories are re-opened as boutiques where a man's mate can be custom-ordered, right down to the various skills and knowledge the Synthia possesses. A truly male-oriented world emerges around this new technology. Adam, the first son of a Synthia, wants something more than a mere breeding machine. He wants a true partner and something like the "love" he only knows about from pre-war media. The Synthia he creates is something new that threatens to destroy the status quo... Adam's Synthia is not an it. Adam's Synthia is a she. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M.A.I.D.S. is the winner of two Watty Awards (2011).

All she did was type 4 little lines of code and all that happened was the destruction of her perfect little world. Andy is a computer game designer with all the newest technology and gadgets but none of those things can help her when she gets pulled into the latest game she’s built. When she’s transported to the smoggy Dirt Town in Main City, filled with skyscrapers and floating cars she knows she’s in trouble and the only person that can help her is the games ‘hero’ Jack. Knowing the streets and buildings by heart she can easily navigate through the city she designed. The hard part is getting the cynical, bad-mannered, tough guy and total hottie to open his door, not to mention trying to convince him that he is the only one that can help her. Using only her head and a small laptop from the ‘real’ world, she helps Jack complete his missions and get closer to the end game.
