Tom is a gifted and lonely 9-year old kid who lives in the world where he has no friends and no one understands him, even his family. His peers bully him because of his deviant perception of the reality and his unique vision of the world. He goes to special classes, called "The Club of Unique and Lonely Minds" because his parents believe that he needs a special treatment. His dream is to build a robot who will become his true friend. But everyone around him thinks it is impossible except Mr. Volkov - an old scientist who inspires him to pursue his dreams.
