After Yang – Suburban couple Kyra (Jodie Turner-Smith) and Jake (Colin Farrell) are raising their young daughter, Mika, whom they adopted from China. When their android Yang has a technical problem, Jake decides to get him repaired, because Mika has grown attached to him. However, they run into a problem because it’s illegal to touch a techno’s black box, so Jake finds an outlaw repairman who agrees to do recover Yang’s memory. In the process Jake discovers that the android’s memory is spyware, and if he had turned Yang in to be recycled, the government would have a wealth of data on their family.
