Written by Scott Edwards Living out fantasies is something that everyone wants to do, but very few of us will ever get the chance. As some people change their minds about what they want to do to make these wishes come true, they still have a spot in their mind that craves what they tried to forget. Knowing that it will never happen, it is easy to make concessions to what would make you happy, but what you really want will never go away. While getting ready for her last shift, Kelly gets breakfast in bed from her best friend Melissa. Knowing that they will never see each other again after she leaves, Kelly must make the best of her final hours in town with her friend. At work, Kelly meets a friendly face at the bar and tries to invite him out for drinks after her shift ends. Even though the stranger declines, Kelly and Melissa go out and get many drinks in them, but while walking home they are confronted by a different man that neither of them wanted to deal with. Pulling out a gun and shooting Melissa, Kelly is forced to watch her friend die on the street, but it does not end there when the man wraps his hands around her throat, killing her as well. At Vice, everyone can live out their wildest fantasies with no repercussions. If killing people is on your list, you can do that since the workers in the resort are artificial humans, robots that can be programed to comply to your every need. Being designed by Julian Michaels, the resort is the hottest place around, and everyone wants to get in and live out their dreams. Even a detective has taking a liking to the resort as Roy is always looking for his next arrest inside of the off-limits mini city. Even though he has been told to stay out of the resort, Roy believes that it is bad for his business and allowing people to kill over and over again on the inside, it trickles out, making his streets less safe. Being cleaned up and reprogramed, Kelly is about to live the same day over again, but there is a hiccup in her memory. Remembering what happened the night before, she is sent back to the lab to have all of her memories erased permanently. Being able to escape the resort, Kelly finds that the real city is not a safe place for her to be as well. Being hunted down by one the top cops from Vice, she is forced back into her old home, but she is not alone as Roy’s current murder investigation has led him to the same place. Wanting to find out what is happening inside of the city, Roy is thrown into the crossfire as Julian needs to have Kelly destroyed before her story gets out. Coming up with a different plan, Roy wants to bring the resort down and needs Kelly to agree with him to do so, but she will take some convincing. An interesting premise to say the least. Making a resort full of androids that will conform to your every need, even murder, it seems to be that the world has gotten pretty darn dark. I really liked Kelly’s role in all of this and the way she was able to grow when starting to access her memories, and when she decides to get an upgrade, well, I am sure you know that all bets would be off. The distrust that Roy has for the resort never changes and I respect him for that, even though his boss continues to tell him to lay off, Roy never does since he wants the resort closed. It is hard to get over Julian as he is looking to make the world a better place, and this resort is just a steppingstone to something much greater and he cannot allow anything bad to come out of it. With plenty of action, I liked the story that was being followed and with a great cast to deliver it, it is definitely one to watch, especially if you enjoy androids that look like humans.
