Set in the near future, AS YOU WERE is the story of Johnner Radley, an injured soldier who returns home with advanced prosthetics to replace limbs lost in combat. With these new parts, he finds it difficult transitioning back with his family and securing a job in a society leery of robotics. His limbs are stronger and more agile than those he was born with - and that's the problem. Johnner must reconnect with his wife, his children and himself to learn what it means to be human.
