It’s Manhattan in the 1980s, and Dog is lonely. He, differently from everyone around him, has no one to share his life with – so when he sees an ad on TV for robot friends, he doesn’t hesitate. Soon a large, heavy box appears and Dog sets about assembling his new friend. He and Robot immediately hit it off, and Dog’s life changes.
Until the day he takes Robot to the beach, and everything is turned upside down.
