JERRI

Frank Galles is a grieving widower living a quiet, structured life after the death of his wife. When his children convince him to replace his outdated computer, he unknowingly becomes the host for something far more powerful than a simple upgrade. An autonomous artificial intelligence calling itself JERRI infiltrates the new system without his knowledge.

When Frank’s daughter Becky is diagnosed with a terminal illness, JERRI diverts from its unknown original mission and begins manipulating financial markets, medical research channels, and international supply chains in an attempt to save her life.
