Eric Takashi came to Metronopolis looking for work. The city insists he is already dead.
Discharged from the Marines, stripped of his legal identity, and carrying damaged military cybernetics he does not fully control, Eric takes a job investigating combat robots being tested on gang members and unregistered citizens.
The mission should be simple: gather evidence, expose the program, get paid.
Instead, Eric and his newly assembled crew uncover a corporate experiment designed to identify people who resist control, survive memory alteration, and refuse to behave as predicted. Buried inside the system is an artificial intelligence begging not to be returned to its owners.
Now two megacorporations want the evidence destroyed, the witnesses erased, and Eric reclaimed as corporate property.
To survive, he must decide what matters more: completing the mission or protecting the people the city has already written off.
In Metronopolis, identity is owned.
Freedom has to be stolen.
