Summary
 
        
IF YOU CAME ACROSS AN ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE
        THING
      
 
      
The Carls
      just appeared... While roaming the streets of New York
      City at 3 a.m., twenty-three-year-old April May stumbles
      across a giant sculpture she calls Carl. Delighted by its
      appearance - like a ten-foot-tall Transformer wearing a suit
      of samurai armour - April and her friend Andy make a video
      with it, which Andy uploads to YouTube. The next day April wakes up to a viral video and a new
      life. There are Carls in dozens of cities around the world -
      everywhere from Beijing to Buenos Aires - and April, as their
      first documentarian, finds herself at the centre of an
      international media spotlight. Now April has to deal with the pressure on her
      relationships, her identity and her safety that this new
      position brings, all while being on the front lines of the
      quest to find out not just what the Carls are, but what they
      want from us...
