'Eden' is set thousands of years in the future in a city known as "Eden 3", which is inhabited only by robots. The robots' former masters aka humans vanished from Eden 3 a long time ago. Two farming robots — E92 and A37 — stumble upon a human baby girl while they are on one of their routine assignments. The robots take in the child, name her Sara and begin to raising her secretly in a safe haven outside Eden.
But as Sara gets older, she begins to uncover some dark secrets about her world and the robots of Eden 3. Meanwhile, the other robots of Eden 3 learn about her existence and launch a massive search to hunt her down.
