In the 22nd century, rising sea levels from global warming have wiped out coastal cities, reducing the world’s population. In Madison, New Jersey, David, a prototype Mecha child capable of experiencing love, is given to Henry Swinton and his wife Monica, whose son Martin contracted a rare disease and has been placed in suspended animation. On the way there, Monica has a change of heart and spares David from destruction by leaving him in the woods.
