The year is 2040 and Eric Roberts hates technology. In an era where automated systems and A.I. robots carry out most work obligations, scores of humans have lost their societal value. As these displaced people wander about, struggling with their new reality, Eric sympathizes with their hardship.
Once a neuropsychologist, his professional livelihood ended when medical tech pushed him into obsolescence. Now a community therapist, he spends his days working with the displaced, helping them craft meaning in a world that no longer needs them. Then an A.I. robot unexpectedly marches into the counseling center for mental health services.
Reluctantly, Eric has to work with the embodiment of what he loathes, and while doing so, he uncovers a damning secret. With his life at a low point, he shelves his professional obligations and investigates the revelation. However, he quickly learns that solving the mystery will only be possible with help from a most unlikely source.
