Five Tales of Digital Desire: AI Goes Awry is a compelling five-story Halloween collection centred on two committed gay rowers, Aly and Finn, as they navigate the unsettling intersection of love and artificial intelligence. Fresh out of university life and its routine of competitive rowing, Finn buys a mysterious 'brain enhancer' called NeutraLinked, a hive mind technology that promises 'relationship synchrony' but delivers terrifyingly blurred boundaries.

What starts as a high-tech gimmick quickly spirals when their minds become irrevocably linked, challenging the very foundation of their three-year relationship. With their private thoughts suddenly shared and their personal space violated, the couple must confront what it means to have true commitment when there's no possibility of escaping each other's minds.
