In the near future, a police officer specializes in malfunctioning robots. When a robot turns out to have been programmed to kill, he begins to uncover a homicidal plot to create killer robots... and his son becomes a target.

Jack Ramsay has just welcomed his new partner Thompson and she needs to go with him in his assignments in the cornfield and in a construction site. When a domestic robot kills a suburban family, Ramsay rescues the baby from the house. When his fellow officer Marvin inspects the machine, he finds an illegal chip installed in the robot. When the electronic engineer Johnson is arrested by Ramsay and Thompson, they are attacked by Luther that uses a state-of-art weapon. Soon they learn that Luther is a dangerous criminal that has developed special chips to be used by terrorists and the police force need to stop him.
