The short, "Atom's" will be approximately six to seven minutes long.

There is a princess, Princess Satya who is sick and dying, so her parents call for anyone who can save her."

Browne discussed the summary of the film,

"A scientist named Moon shows up and shares a solution, a solution to which the king and queen agree. Inside Satya's body, Logiq, the head of defense carbon atom can't handle his duty to protect his people and his home from the viruses trying to destroy it, so he runs away. Where he ends up is outside of the body where he finds himself in yet another similar predicament and runs away again; however, this time his friend Zeal, an oxygen atom. Zeal convinces him to stay and help defeat the enemies. Logiq, along with the help of his friends, is victorious and gains the courage to go back and fight for his home."
