Description
High-octane cyberpunk action set in a dystopian future full of cyborgs, big guns and corporate conspiracies. Akira meets Judge Dredd meets Blade Runner in this gritty 4-part series that blends dynamic artwork, hardhitting social themes and blistering, high-tech action. The police SD (special department) Unit 1 investigates a violent incident involving a malfunctioning android but quickly realize they are not the only ones interested in the machine. Clearly, there's more to this android than meets the eye. In an action packed cyberpunk thriller, the team will face plenty of barriers before they uncover the disturbing truth.
