Friendship doesn't have an ‘Off’ switch. Set in the near future, Frank, a retired cat burglar, has two grown kids who are concerned that Frank can no longer live alone. They’re tempted to place him in a nursing home, until Frank’s son chooses a different option: Against his wishes, the son buys him a walking, talking humanoid robot programmed to improve Frank's physical and mental health. What follows is an often hilarious and heartwarming story about finding friends and family in the most unexpected places.
