Synopsis: When his wife Amelia suffers an aneurysm that leaves her bedridden and slowly dying, police officer Carter Summerland searches for a way to revive her. He's approached by Wesley Enterprises about allowing Amelia to be the test subject for an experimental program that will place her mind in a new, artificial body - and out of desperation, Carter agrees. But is the result really Amelia Summerland? Or is it something else entirely? Set in the very near future, The Summerland Project uses current, existing technology as a launchpad for a story about where the line truly is between life and death, and to ask the question: What is is that makes us human?. It explores the motivations behind the team that creates Amelia, from genius but standoffish Dr. Ellen Beckett to the kind yet arrogant industrialist Paul Wesley, who funds the work.

life with this technology.

And you will know that we did it

and not your god.

- That did not help us.

- These people don't

care about science, Paul.

- We're trying to lay

the groundwork here

to gain some credibility.

You can't go off book like that.

- Since when did credibility

involve arguing with the right?

That's the conversation

you shouldn't be having.

It validates their opinions.

- Dr. Beckett, you need

to come downstairs immediately.

- Why?

- Her patterns spike when

we speak directly to her.

Watch.

She knows that I'm speaking

specifically to her.

Amelia.

Ellen.

Paul.

Max.

Amelia.

Okay, let me try something.

Hundreds of years of

research and discovery

and the fix might be as

simple as a light bulb.

- Voltage.

- Amelia,

can you hear me?

Do you know where you are?

Do you know who you are?

Can you tell me your name?

- I'm Amelia Summerland.

- I know, I

know, I know, I know.

- Wait, wait.

Quiet, quiet everybody.

- Oh sh*t.

Heart stop.

Heart stop!

Stop it.

- Get a hold of her.

- You're safe.

You're safe, Amelia.

You're safe.

You're safe.

- We've lost everything.

- We need to tell her.

- She won't be

able to handle it.

- It couldn't possibly be worse

than the episode we just had.

Blunt her emotions.

It'll keep her calm.

- So, um, what

that means, Amelia,

is that you will never age.

You'll never get sick.

You'll never die.

You're still you, Amelia, but...

You're different now.

- Tell me what you're

thinking, Amelia.

- Who are all of you?

- Wesley enterprises

experienced a record low

last quarter but

remain optimistic.

Insiders suggest something big...

- I want to announce it.

- She's not ready.

- She's talking,

for the love of god.

- She struggles

with motor control.

She can't walk

without assistance.

- Her nervous system

is a disaster.

The interface, it overclocks.

The computer can't keep up.

She's had several

catastrophic failures.

- When the computer resets,

we have to completely rebuild.

- We're six days from an

update with the board.

We have to make something up.

How long does it

take to rebuild?

- Weeks.

I mean, it's not a simple

- 23 hours to be

precise.

- Process.

- Here's what we're gonna do.

We're gonna put

her back on line.

I'm letting Carter meet her.

- It's too soon.

- We have to have something

to show these people.

Imagine how they're gonna react

when they see Carter

reunited with his dead wife.

- The emotional stimuli
