The film she will be writing for us is based on the following Synopsis: In the future, Justice is delegated to machines: infallible and objective, these AI Deleted:e machin Inserted: e AI dispense fair punishments. FRANK is accused by his neighbor of dropping trash on their lawn. It's a civil infraction, and while it was only an oversight on Frank's part, he's charged with a small fine.
