The surviving automatons live among us as a marginalized underclass due to human prejudice and strict laws governing their existence. Automata follows NYPD detective-turned-private eye Sam Regal and his brilliant automaton partner Carl Swangee as they work together to solve crimes and understand each other in this dystopian world.
