A solitary Tasmanian Devil (TeeDee), the last of his kind, crawls out of his log and bumps into a Robot Replica of another Tasmanian Devil (unbeknownst to him). As he spends more time with the strange companion, our Tassie devil begins to warm up to his unique new friend. However, as they begin to roughhouse together, TeeDee hears a loud crack and looks down to find that his friend has stopped moving. To his horror, he discovers that who he thought was his friend was actually a man-made technology built to observe and imitate him all along. Confused and afraid, TeeDee begins to run away, only to notice his natural habitat beginning to glitch and break into holographic shapes with the shattered robot still on his tail. TeeDee continues to run until he trips over a loose panel in the floor of his false enclosure. With nowhere left to go, he tunnels into it to make his escape. As he reaches the end of the tunnel, he crawls out to discover that he’s gone right back to his own log; where he started.
