"Next Gen" takes place in a technologically advanced city called Grainland, where it chronicles the life of an adolescent named Mai Su (voice of Charlyne Yi). Mai has had a troubling childhood, most notably when an argument between her father and mother leads to her father leaving, forever. Consequently, Mai has a rocky relationship with her mother which leads to her having robots and other gadgets around the house to help fill her social void. Mai’s mother than forces her to go to a launch event for new robots called Gen 6 Q-bots, where Mai’s resentment for robots and her surroundings finds herself in a room where she is not supposed to be. She meets a newly-made highly secret robot named, Project 7723. Mai leaves her backpack through a rush of activity and the robot tries to track her down and return the bag. Once he does, they connect through their differences and become great friends. Mai also has the temptation of using the robot to cure all injustices in the city by using his weapon. Mai and the robot run into trouble whenever it turns out the CEO of Iq Robotics is evil and wants to take out Project 7723, because he was built to stop him and also all of humanity because he is an unbelievably advanced robot.
