IT TAKES A MACHINE WITH HEART TO SAVE A LIFE

From its perch on top of a pile of junk inside a shed, Coli, a robot with powerful observational qualities, waits patiently for someone to find it.

Coli is special among humanoids. This is because Coli has the capacity for emotion.

Today, Coli is feeling particularly in awe - of the sky in all its wondrous shades of blue.

Luckily for Coli, a young girl is about to pass by. She is obsessed with robots.

Together, they will save a life.

But first, they must become friends, play with danger, and pull off the mother of all deceptions.
