Ash Bell has a secret-
A deadly eight foot robot lives in his basement.
Designed by Ash's father, a genius scientist working for defense contractor North American Automation, the AI was created to become the ultimate war machine.
That is until it begins asking questions and demonstrating behaviors beyond Dr. Bell's programming-changes that only Ash sees.
At school, Ash's life is imploding; he's been suspended and outed as gay. An ex wants to pull Ash with him into a downward spiral.
Now, his father's military robot might be the only one who can save him.
And Ash might be the only one to help the AI become more than just a weapon.
