When Boot, a toy robot, awakens in a scrapyard, it has no recollection of how it arrived or why it is separated from its owner, Beth. All it possesses are two and a half glitchy memories, but one thing is certain: it was cherished by humans, holding a significant place in their lives.


Boot soon realizes that its emotions set it apart from other robots, which operate solely on functionality without any contemplation. Fear grips Boot, but it strives to be brave, despite the constant display of a wobbly, worried face on its screen. Fortunately, Boot meets Noke and Red, advanced robots who have mastered the art of survival in secrecy. With newfound companions by its side, Boot embarks on a perilous quest to reunite with Beth and her friends.


As Boot delves deeper into this adventure, it confronts the reality that everything it once believed about the world is shifting, and the complexities of human nature become increasingly apparent. The journey is filled with surprises, and Boot must navigate through treacherous terrain and face unexpected challenges.
