Suzie, an American woman living in Kyoto, Japan, sees her life shattered when her husband and son disappear in a mysterious plane crash. As a form of consolation, she receives Sunny, a domestic robot created by her husband’s electronics company. Initially, Suzie resents Sunny, but they gradually form an unexpected friendship that leads them to uncover the dark truth behind her family's disappearance. With Sunny by her side, Suzie becomes dangerously enmeshed in a world she never knew existed.
