When Becca loses her partner, job and spark she retreats into her apartment to recuperate, pouring her heart out to her only companion – MAIA, her AI wellbeing Smart Hub.  But as she lands a new job, begins to turn her life around and prepares to leave the flat to re-join society, it seems MAIA has other plans…

‘WIRED’ is a short Sci Fi thriller about a woman being gaslit by her smart hub that blends shades of ‘Black Mirror’, ‘Ex Machina’ and ‘Her’ with dashes of the dark humour of ‘Bad Sisters’ or ‘Bridesmaids’.
