Nothing has been going well in the life of Germain for the past few weeks.  His wife left him, his job was eliminated, his car had flat tires and  all his Smart devices stopped working one after the other.  Certain that he is sliding into a depression, Germain consults a doctor.  To his total surprise, a brain scan shows that he has reached programmed obsolescence, a degenerative disease that limits him to three options:  be recycled, be sold for parts, or die with no one caring.  Germain must be inventive to thwart his decrepitude and prove to his daughter that he is not totally old fashioned.
