​

A queer Pseudo-Southern Gothic love story gone wrong. On a dark and stormy night, Sweet Thing returns home to discover her partner, Darlin, has left her. Sweet Thing turns to her AI-generative companion, Chatter, to rewrite their love story and uncover her mistakes. As the Chatter-written scenes unfold, darker truths about Sweet Thing's relationships emerge. Chatter explores our murky relationship with technology, control and abuse, and asks how close to the 'real' thing we actually want to get.
