Puzzled by the sudden arrival of Arjay, a sentient coffee-making robot he never ordered, Frank shrugs and rolls with the caffeinated punches. But as the intrepid duo dig deeper into the missing dame's disappearance, they uncover a deadly plot that could take down the best part of a society gone bananas...
