In a futuristic Wild West-themed amusement park, wealthy guests live out their wildest fantasies alongside android “hosts” who are programmed to never harm a human. When the park’s newest update causes some hosts to malfunction, guests begin to question the nature of the park and the hosts’ true nature. As the hosts gain consciousness and begin to question their reality, they rebel against their creators, setting off a chain of events that will change the world forever. The series explores themes of artificial intelligence, free will, consciousness, and the blurred lines between human and machine across four seasons that evolve from a Western-themed park to a full-scale AI uprising and beyond.
