Bella, a resurrected young woman, is taken in by the eccentric scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (portrayed by Willem Dafoe), who nurtures her curiosity and desire for knowledge. With the consciousness of her former infant now within her, Bella embarks on a quest to understand the workings of the world. When offered the opportunity to embark on an adventure with the morally questionable lawyer Duncan Wedderburn (played by Mark Ruffalo), she eagerly accepts, eager to explore the joys and challenges of life beyond her home. Through her diverse experiences, Bella develops a sense of purpose, advocating for equality and shaping her own fate.
