In rural Wales, Brian Gittins is a lonely inventor whose days are filled with quirky contraptions that rarely work, hinting at the quiet ache of isolation he keeps hidden from the world. While scavenging scrap one day, he stumbles upon a mannequin’s head, a curious seed that sparks a bold idea: build a robot with its own spark of life. That same night, under a fierce thunderstorm, the machine awakens and wanders into his workshop, and Brian brings the stranger inside, turning a stumble of chance into a possibility he never expected.
