The trailer forMade For Loveintroduces us to the seemingly blissful couple Hazel Green (Milioti) and Byron Gogol (Magnussen). Their idyllic world seems all the more ideal as they live a life seen through rose-colored glasses. But, as it turns out, those proverbial glasses were specially designed by Byron, aSteve Jobs-esque tech bro who is looking to engineer love into its maximum potential through an implant you put in your brain. Hazel slowly becomes aware that Byron has turned them both into his creation’s first test subjects and, not exactly liking all of the control that it offers Byron over her own life, she flees from their home. Unfortunately, Byron’s tech is still implanted in Hazel’s head, which makes life hard for ourMade For Loveheroine as she tries to get as far away from her toxic, controlling ex as she can.

Soon she discovers that her husband has implanted a monitoring device – the Made for Love chip – in her brain, allowing him to track her, watch her and know her ‘emotional data’ as she tries to regain her independence.
