Overview
"The film is meant to vaguely mimic television narrative structure as a pilot for a potential web series. The plot follows awkward, fish-out-of-water protagonist Roger the Robot. One year after Roger's mad-scientist creator, robot fiancé and best frenemy all die at once in a fiery explosion, the lonely robot must face reality that he is a male stripper living out of a cardboard box behind the library he frequents and not an aspiring ballerino-in-training. Following a librarian's offer of a place to stay as a roommate, Roger unexpectedly gets his "package" stolen by Emma, a femme fatale being coerced into espionage by the Russians." --Abstract.
