I Am Frankie follows Frankie Gaines (Alex Hook), who looks like a typical teenager, but has a very big secret - she's actually a cutting edge, experimental android! She must hide her true identity to avoid being tracked down by the evil tech company EGG Labs. Sigourney Gaines, her creator and "mother," ensures Frankie's safety by posing her as her real-life human daughter. Think that's a lot for one android? There's SO much more. To hide from EGG labs, Frankie must also try to pass as a human and attend high school. The homework! The social pressures! The information overload!

Although Frankie attends a regular school, no one but the members of her family can know her secret. But fitting in and staying under the radar become much more complicated once she begins to make friends…and develop her first crush.
