The world's 7th richest woman, Martha Van Vogel ("MEN IN TREES" star Anne Heche), goes shopping for a few new genetically-engineered creatures for her menagerie. But her world is thrown into chaos when she befriends an anthropoid (Jason Diablo as Jerry) slated for "liquidation" and determines to take him home.. even though his creator (Malcolm McDowell) has other plans.

Set in the future, we are introduced to courtrooms without human judges or juries, and automated justice is the law of the land.
