The Concept: Eight million robots walk the streets, but this isn't science fiction. This is New York City, top to bottom, from a basement in the last Brooklyn ghetto to the clouds above a penthouse suite on Park Avenue. These are robots in agony, ecstasy and everything in between, searching for love, sex or just enough spare change to get them through the day.

Under cover of plain sight, all the wrong types come out to play. Headed away from both sides of the law, Marco witnesses the fulfillment of all of his fears. With the power down throughout the city, will secrets come to light?
