In the future, the line between human and machine becomes blurred. Androids can be programmed to be perfect lovers…but whether their hearts of steel allow love to become real is the question. If anyone knows, it would be Milo O’Shea, owner of O’Shea’s Discount Bot Shoppe, who supplies full-service androids for cut-rate prices.

Maeko and Koie, members of different Muns, purchase two bots to assist them in their assignment to begin terraforming a distant planet. As the two couples travel to the planet Aysha to begin the work, feelings they never knew existed began to surface. And the only ones who can teach Maeko and Koie about love and passion are the bots Sean and Meghan, both uniquely programmed by O’Shea’s Discount Bot Shoppe.
