Humans have gone and cities are empty, looked after by bots.  

But not all robots are machines. Echo is part-human, his heart ruled by an unreliable E-Mote chip which means he’s pretty much a normal boy surviving on canned beans. Living his best life.  

Then a space-pod crash-lands in his neighbourhood with a girl on board. Pandora.
