By Mikey & Finn Productionsverified

Deep within a mysterious facility, a humanoid machine confronts another version of itself, imprisoned inside an illuminated chamber. A single question echoes through the darkness: “Who am I?” As an extraordinary exchange of energy begins, the boundaries between identity, memory and consciousness start to dissolve. When the transfer is complete, a voice quietly declares: “I’m coming home.” But whose voice is it? Which consciousness has survived? And what exactly is returning home? C-17: Coming Home is a haunting science-fiction mystery exploring the nature of identity and the unsettling possibility that consciousness may not belong to just one body. Some questions are better left unanswered.
