A man finds himself stranded in a desolate corner of outer space with only a 'robot butler', as he calls it, for company. Consequently, the story is allowed to develop in a situation where resources are scant, human company is absent and the chances of survival are uncertain. From rants about his hapless fate to struggles with the only presence around him, the robot, the protagonist engages with them all. However, despite the difficulties the circumstance has already offered to him, things begin to worsen.
Along with the emotional and mental isolation, the threat of perhaps an external force interfering in the protagonist's chances of survival also begins to stick its head out within the narrative. In the process of weaving the story for the viewer, the various elements present forth a dedicated whole for the audience to engage with.
As matters come to a head with the protagonist running out of food and unable to truly comprehend the true nature of his little robot friend, what shocking developments await both him and the viewer?
