The Cast

	PATRICIA McGOWAN. An advertising mogul in her early forties, she is brilliant, sexy, attractive and remarkably resilient. After two broken marriages and a rather large fortune, she is cynical and bent on pleasure at any cost
	ANGELA WITT. A very attractive woman in her mid thirties, Angela is Pat’s best friend and co-conspirator in the sharing of Dr. Max Love. Angela has come to see inside the inner-workings of this complex creation they have brought into their lives.
	MIKKI DUDLEY. Angela Witt’s beautiful twenty-something friend. Shy and devoted, she has just broken up with her longtime significant other and is in search of a new identity. What she seeks and what she finds will bring out an inner power she never knew was there.
	RUDOLPH CHARLES GORDINO (Rudi). Mikki’s longtime significant other, he is a workaholic who truly regrets having lost her. Meeting “Dr. Max” will allow him to show a side of himself, and a depth of character that he has never been able to reveal before.
	DR. MAX LOVE. The consummate executive perk, “Dr. Max” has been designed to be the perfect Renaissance man and “love machine” for women affluent enough to lease his fantastic matrix. With a 200 plus IQ and a degree as a licensed physician, he is sensitive, caring, compassionate and “indefatigable.” But soon enough this super-cyber-hunk reveals aspects to his psychological matrix that are far more evolved than any of them might have ever imagined.

Synopsis

The time is the near future. The year is 2030. Dr. Max Love is a handsome, dashing love machine with a 200+ IQ, a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, and an M.D. in neurology. He is a Renaissance man, a great wit, a brilliant conversationalist, and a sensitive caring friend. He is also a custom-designed, test market android on a no recourse lease that expires in three years.

Leased by millionaire ad executive Patricia McGowan, Dr. Max has been brought on board to be used as her personal assistant, her boy toy, her constant companion, and (yes) her family physician. Certain she can operate him by remote control and that he, “unlike most men,” has been programmed for complete compliance, Pat McGowan is happy keeping things as they are.

Seemingly hard-bitten, Patricia is also generous to a fault and shares her tech find with her best friend Angela Witt who, she suspects, is beginning to have deep feelings “for this machine.” And it is Angela who is as solicitous and kind to Dr. Max as Patricia is playful and dismissive. For a time, the doctor and the two women seem to have their tidy if superficial sex-triangle in balance. It is only when Angela’s young friend Mikki Dudley is brought over for a session to relieve her tension from a recent split-up with her boyfriend that the ménage finds itself on the horns of a moral dilemma. And when Mikki’s ex-significant other, Rudi, discovers that his perceived rival is an artificial life form, we suddenly experience the challenge that might well await us.

As Rudi and Max match wits and philosophies, we finally behold the perilous path along which our rampant technology is already leading us — one that, in the end, will prove to be either our ruin or our only hope for redemption.

What begins as a sex comedy ends in the Chinese box — a spiritual probe into uncharted metaphysical waters. On the Wheel of Life as many of us perceive it to be, does the soul seek intelligence? Or does intelligence seek a soul? Will our angels finally find a way to reach us directly by taking artificial life forms? And if they do, will their consciousness also not become a battleground between the ego and the divine?
