In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by an environmental catastrophe, an engineer named Finch lives in an underground shelter with his dog Goodyear. Life has been tough and lonely, but when Finch's health begins to deteriorate, he decides it’s time to secure the future of his loyal companion. To do this, he creates Jeff, an artificial intelligence robot designed to take care of Goodyear after he is gone. Although Finch is initially quite cynical and skeptical about Jeff's ability to understand and take care of a dog, he soon realizes that the robot has much to learn about friendship, empathy, and emotional connections.
As Finch embarks on a journey to find a safe place, the trio will face multiple challenges in a world filled with dangers, including storms and a hostile environment.

With a blend of drama and humor, the story explores the unique relationship between a man, his dog, and a robot, touching on themes of love, loss, and redemption. Through this journey, Finch will not only find a way to care for Goodyear but will also discover the true meaning of family and sacrifice.
