In another time, another place, a fascist order known as the alignment has taken over Echo City. Nobody is safe from their jurisdiction. A scarce number of rebellious communities roam the shadows in hopes to one day break free from conformism. On this night a former private investigator turned vigilante will meet with an undaunted young woman who claims to possess imperative data that can put an end to the alignment. She must successfully make the trade before her employer, crime lord Johnnie Squid finds out. He may be the least of her worries, however, as a band of uncanny assassins commissioned by Commander Finch are hot on her trail.
