Robots Never Dream

Post Apocalyptic future of Earth where a semi-autonomous robotic race called the Mechanized has thrived on the surface and slowly repaired the damaged caused by the thought to be extinct Humans. However, the Humans are not all gone. A colony has lived for hundreds of years in subterranean squalor, slowly dying off as they wait out the mistakes of their past and hope for a chance to re-enter what was once their birth right. The Surface World.
A band of misfit children make their way to the surface. Sent by the adults beneath in an attempt to gauge the living conditions, but they are immediately swept away by the fast pace survival and harsh environment that they encounter and meet a Stranger who should not be alive. A Human who risks his life for their safety and knows things that he should not know about the Underground. He is not alone, either. At his side, oddly, is a Mechanized that has been reprogrammed to have human emotions.
Together this team of unlikely companions travel the wasteland in search of clues, meaning and safety. The Mech, begins having visions/dreams of a horrendous event. The Human man struggles with his identity and his ability to keep the children safe. And the children themselves overcome the hardships of an adjustment so large and challenging. They all must rely on each-other if they are to survive the perils of the waste land.
