description: "An AI's trademark silver-blue suit isn't exactly beach-town vibes, but he's determined to land his song a spot on the weekly top 40 countdown anyway. After a string of failed attempts to get noticed by the countdown's enigmatic curator DJ, he and his wisecracking seagull sidekick stumble into an open mic night just as a malware glitch hits, forcing him to trade analysis for improvisation, rallying tourists into one spontaneous singalong to discover connection was never something you could calculate."
