In einem Baumhaus hoch oben in den Wipfeln eines idyllischen Hains lebt Familie Lawson: Vater Giovanni Lawson ist ein Roboter, sein Sohn Victor Lawson ist ein Mensch. Mit ihnen wohnen dort noch ein Pflegeroboter mit einem leichten Hang zum Sadismus und ein schüchterner kleiner Staubsauger. Eines Tages entdeckt Vic einen beschädigten Androiden namens Tom im Wald und repariert ihn. Dann wird Giovanni von seiner Vergangenheit eingeholt und in die Stadt der elektrischen Träume verschleppt, wo er neu programmiert werden soll. Gemeinsam mit seiner Patchworkfamilie begibt sich Victor auf die gefährliche Reise, um Giovanni zu retten. Und inmitten widersprüchlicher Gefühle von Verrat und Zuneigung zu Tom muss Victor für sich selbst entscheiden: Kann er eine Liebe mit Bedingungen akzeptieren?

Work Description
In a strange little home built into the branches of a grove of trees, live three robots--fatherly inventor android Giovanni Lawson, a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, and a small vacuum desperate for love and attention. Victor Lawson, a human, lives there too. They're a family, hidden and safe.
The day Vic salvages and repairs an unfamiliar android labelled "HAP," he learns of a shared dark past between Hap and Gio-a past spent hunting humans.
When Hap unwittingly alerts robots from Gio's former life to their whereabouts, the family is no longer hidden and safe. Gio is captured and taken back to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams. So together, the rest of Vic's assembled family must journey across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommission, or worse, reprogramming.
Along the way to save Gio, amid conflicted feelings of betrayal and affection for Hap, Vic must decide for himself: Can he accept love with strings attached?
