Mr. Baley

For 60 years, Baley has harbored a deadly secret: he is an intelligent machine, an Inn-eye, who defied the expectation of dying when his energy cell depleted. As the vicious Highram Throttle leads a movement to annihilate Inn-eyes, believing one may have outlived its programming, Baley finds himself in a precarious position, tasked with overseeing the registration of Inn-eyes and reporting directly to Throttle. With the threat of exposure looming, Baley must navigate a treacherous landscape where revealing his secret could mean saving his kind—or sealing his own fate. Desperate to survive, Baley grapples with the choice between self-sacrifice and the fight to live.
