In a near-future world, a revolutionary nanotherapy has eradicated cancer by replacing human cells with nanites, granting patients virtual immortality. Literary researcher Yonghun, a recipient of this treatment, creates a sentient AI named Panit to understand poetry, naming the machine after his husband. When Yonghun mysteriously vanishes and returns changed, the boundaries between human and machine blur. As Panit is transferred into an android body and nano-humans begin to replicate, they face existential choices that challenge the very definition of personhood and the endurance of love in a post-human future.
