One night, everything changes when a blackout occurs across the property and Jack is attacked. When Layla inspects his wounds, Jack assures her that everything is fine and that it was just an accident with the cattle. But something doesn’t add up to Layla and she cannot shake her worry.

As Layla starts to search the property and investigate further, Jack’s behaviour grows increasingly controlling until Layla discovers a disturbing presence on the farm.

Doll horror

“Miss me?”

Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady, now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules.

Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia, the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around.

With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I icon is about to meet her match.
