In a world where humans and robots coexist, Europol detective Gezicht is on a case when a series of powerful robots are destroyed, which leads him to believe that the criminal is targeting the most advanced robots in the world, including himself. But everything takes an unexpected turn when the key people involved in the law on robots begin to be killed one by one, and there are no obvious signs of the criminal at the crime scene. During the investigation, Gezicht meets a highly developed robot Atom, whose emotions and artificial intelligence make him doubt his own identity. Together they uncover a dark conspiracy that could mean the end of the world as they know it. But over time, will they be able to stop the greatest evil in history before it’s too late?
Starting on October 26, PLUTO will be available for streaming worldwide exclusively on Netflix.
