Wesley Davis has no interest in becoming a beta tester for his friend's new language app, PollyGot. But when he's introduced to the alluring Livia Spencer, she challenges him to a bet: she'll learn more French than him in two months. His competitive side can't resist.
What begins as a playful challenge soon turns sinister after the app's adaptive AI, Polly, integrates with his smart home. As the inexplicable injuries and accidents pile up, Wes begins to question his sanity. Is he just imagining things, or is Polly manipulating him in a twisted attempt to master a new language at any cost?
