In the near future, robots will be in every home, doing chores for us. Max, a 40-year-old single mom, sells stolen robots on the black market with her daughter Paula. Their latest robot, T-0, is too old to be recycled. A godsend for Paula, aged 10, who dreams of owning her own robot! Her mother, yet opposed to machines, agrees to keep him until another buyer can be found. When Paula's custody is taken away from her, Max has no choice but to rely on T-0.
