In a San Francisco of the near future, Jerry is a writer who has recently signed a contract with a technology company called Clonomics. As a result of his contract, he's been supplied with a tablet through which he can access an artificially intelligent being named Me2 who can successfully pose as him. When Jerry–who's middle-aged, depressed, and divorced–is invited to speak at a conference in Reykjavik by a woman named Sally Savio, Jerry gives Me2 the go-ahead to do the gig for him. Me2 triumphs, landing Jerry more speaking engagements and even a book deal, all of which Me2 works on and attends, while Jerry continues his miserable existence, failing to pick up women and making little progress on his novel. To lift Jerry's spirits, Me2 reveals that he'd set up a date between Jerry and Sally from Iceland. Jerry makes his way to Sally's apartment, cracking his tablet on the way there so that he could be alone with Sally, without Me2. When he gets there, he realizes it's a set-up: Sally had suspected that the Jerry she was interacting with was an AI, and he's brought to jail. After he gets out, Me2 reveals that this was all part of Clonomics' plan to get further exposure for their technology and proof of what Me2 could do. Sally's company also benefitted from it because, now, their tablets would sell more than ever. The latter company also decides to press charges against Jerry for fraud. However, Sally has a change of heart, and she agrees to have a real dinner with Jerry. They bond instantly, and Jerry relishes in the feeling of having someone like him for him, instead of for who Me2 says he is.
