The Girlfriend Experience

Iris relocates to London, leaving behind family and a half-finished degree; she begins a double life, working at a tech startup while providing the girlfriend experience at night.

Iris and her co-worker start working on an AI project that mirrors human emotion; new clients provided by a high-end escort agency leave Iris with a wealth of behavioral data.

Iris gets better at simulating the perfect girlfriend experience for her clients; simultaneously at NGM, Iris and her co-workers start training the AI model with new, simulated sets.

Iris' client relationships seem increasingly uncanny, and advice from Tawny isn't what Iris was hoping for; her father's illness catches up with Iris in undeniable ways.

Iris can't keep her two worlds separate anymore, which comes with unwanted consequences; Iris realizes she's in a position of power, while simultaneously having lost all control.

Buying time, Iris escapes the messy leftovers of her double life and goes off-grid; Georges, a former client, takes Iris into his world.

Cassie is back with a vengeance, taking her work to the next level; Iris' secrecy around the project puts a dent in her relationship with Hiram and their collaboration around Emcee.

Having family in town brings up complicated feelings for Iris; Tawny feels bad about how things played out with The V; afraid to face her own truth, Iris realizes she needs to switch gears.

Having lost all sense of perspective, Iris confides in Christophe, who, in turn, opens up a part of his world; little does Iris know; the encounter will leave her shaken to the core.

Struggling to recover from betrayal, Iris is willing to take a radical leap once again; she needs to confront one more person before making a fateful decision: Emcee.
