In a not-so-distant future where society has largely collapsed, Sam Treadwell leads a relatively comfortable life in a more stable zone with his perfect companion, a lifelike android named Cherry 2000. When Cherry malfunctions beyond repair, Sam is devastated and determined to replace her. Discovering that the model is rare and out of production, he learns that the only available replacements are in a remote, lawless region known as "the Zone." Facing a daunting journey, Sam hires E. Johnson, a tough and skilled tracker, to help navigate the perilous landscape and locate the factory that holds Cherry 2000 units.

As they venture deeper into the hazardous terrain, Sam and E. Johnson face numerous challenges, including hostile territories led by eccentric warlord Lester and his gang. With threats lurking at every corner, Sam’s views on life and relationships begin to evolve as he spends more time with Johnson, testing his determination and priorities. Their mission becomes a perilous quest that not only seeks a replacement android but also forces both Sam and Johnson to confront their own personal demons amidst the chaos of a crumbling world.
