In a near-future San Francisco grappling with the aftermath of war, a unique culinary venture emerges from an abandoned ghost kitchen.

However, their burgeoning success is threatened by a mysterious campaign of fake negative reviews designed to sabotage their operation. The resourceful bots must uncover the identity of their saboteur before their dreams of independence are crushed by a wave of digital deceit.
