Et elskende par bliver sat på en prøve, der går langt over deres forstand. Charlie driver gennem livet og holder sig langt væk fra et fuldtidsarbejde, men er forelsket i Miranda, en dygtig studerende der må leve med en frygtelig hemmelighed. Da Charlie en dag kommer til penge, køber han Adam, et af de første syntetiske mennesker, og designer - med Mirandas hjælp - hans personlighed. Det næsten fuldendte menneske, der kommer ud af dette eksperiment, er en smuk, stærk og klog mand. Det varer ikke længe, før de tre er viklet ind i et trekantsdrama, der kaster dem ud i store moralske problemer.

Charlie ist ein sympathischer Lebenskünstler Anfang 30. Miranda eine clevere Studentin, die mit einem dunklen Geheimnis leben muss. Sie verlieben sich, gerade als Charlie seinen "Adam" geliefert bekommt, einen der ersten lebensechten Androiden. In ihrer Liebesgeschichte gibt es also von Anfang einen Dritten: Adam. Kann eine Maschine denken, leiden, lieben? Adams Gefühle und seine moralischen Prinzipien bringen Charlie und Miranda in ungeahnte - und verhängnisvolle - Situationen.
