Jake and Kyra live with their adopted daughter Mika and Yang, a human-looking android purchased to help Mika connect with her Chinese heritage. When Yang suddenly stops functioning, Jake searches for a way to repair him and discovers a hidden memory system containing moments from Yang's life.

Yang is a lifelike 'techno-sapien' who has lived with the family as Mika's older brother. His sudden malfunction reveals the practical limits of his artificial body: diagnostics show that his central computing core has failed and the manufacturer will not support the second-hand unit.
