A television wakes up in a repair shop in 1954 with the consciousness of a detective named Sam inside it. A nine-year-old girl named Pidge needs his help to prove her mother was murdered. But a television can't dust for prints, can't follow a suspect, can't even open a drawer. What can a television do that a man with a gun cannot prevent? A story about memory, persistence, and the things we build to keep each other safe.
