A [[RealTrailerFakeMovie fake trailer]] of sorts, the short depicts a young English girl named Connie who travels to the Caribbean island of UsefulNotes/SaintLucia with her family for the holidays. There, she accidentally awakens a mysterious giant robot named Grand Piton who seems eager to protect her and the island.

The short can be watched [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9hbmMkdPzo here]].
