Vic’s family fears they will lose Gio forever, so they make the decision to leave their home to try to save him from The Authority in a perilous adventure that puts their love and trust in each other to the test. Gio is captured by other HARPs from The Authority and taken back to the City of Electric Dreams. By bringing Hap back to life, Vic unknowingly alerts The Authority of his family’s presence. Hap does not remember his dark past as a designated HARP (short for “Human AnnihilationResponse Protocol”). Gio, whose designation is “General Innovation Operative,” and Hap have a history together. Hap comes back to life with his new power source and a series of events is set in motion that changes everything. This is all done without Gio’s knowledge.
He shapes a wooden heart and adds a drop of his own blood to replace Hap’s dead battery. Vic fashions wood to fill in the missing areas of skin on Hap’s body and face. They name the android Hap from letters they can see on a metal plate on his chest. Everything changes when Vic, Rambo, and Nurse Ratched find an android in the scrapyards who needs major repairs. This untraditional family cares deeply for one another and has made a comfortable home for themselves in the woods. Nurse Ratched is a hilarious, sociopathic medical robot who finds joy in taking care of Vic and terrorizing Rambo…in a loving way. Rambo is an anxiety-ridden Roomba vacuum who loves to clean and ask questions. Two of his success stories are his friends Rambo and Nurse Ratched, short for “Registered Automaton To Care, Heal, Educate, and Drill.” Vic spends his days searching the nearby metal scrapyards for parts, trying to bring old machines back to life. Vic is human, and Gio is an android inventor who raised Vic from infancy. In a machine-controlled dystopian future, Victor Lawson lives in a treehouse in an Oregon forest with his dad Giovanni.
