At least, the earliest version of me had a family.&” In a reunified Korea of the near future, the sun beats down on a junkyard filled with abandoned robots, broken down for parts.

When they were children, their brother Yoyo disappeared suddenly, leaving behind only distant memories of his laughter and near-human warmth.

Now Morgan makes robots for a living and is on the verge of losing control of her most important creation. Jun is a detective with the Robot Crimes Unit whose investigation is digging up truths that want to stay buried. And whether they like it or not, Ruijie&’s discovery will thrust their family back together in ways they could have never imagined.
