In 2035, the future of synthetic living has finally arrived, but so too has the threat of a global machine war. Rising Hollywood star Sepideh Ahmadi never imagined she would transition to an artificial body, but when her longtime girlfriend Natasha develops a terminal illness, the choices become clear: either give up their physical bodies and stay together, or allow Natasha to die.

For Sepideh, her new synthetic form awakens more than just enhanced senses. Gone are the jitters, the fears, the nerves that once defined her. Yet, in her rebirth, she finds herself drifting from who she was—and Natasha is no longer the woman she remembers. Their love, once bound by shared fragilities, now strains under the weight of their new selves.

As a machine army marches toward California, fanatical followers invade her every moment, and the fractures in her relationship widen, Sepideh must confront an agonizing question: if immortality is possible, what part of her humanity is she willing to sacrifice to keep it?

In a world where endless life comes with a steep price, Sepideh faces a reckoning: can she live with the cost?

From the sunlit coasts of California to the icy peaks of Montana, Por Vida explores the rise of the synthetic transcendence movement before and after the onset of the machine war. Step into a world where living as code challenges not just your sense of self but transforms your values, your desires, and even the nature of love. Discover who you might become in a synthetic body—and how far you'd go to hold onto what makes you human.
