In the futuristic city of Scion, crime and corruption run rampant. Those with power exploit the system from the Spires. Meanwhile, the Lower Wards run on drugs, sex, and violence.

Victor is a netrunner working freelance in the city’s seedy underbelly. A degenerative brain disease forces him to borrow money for a cyberoptic augment surgery. Now he owes a huge sum to a ruthless gang. If he can’t come up with the credits soon, his loan shark will make an example out of him.

An unexpected twist of fate lets him meet Lola, an experimental android who awakened her ego gaining true artificial intelligence. After escaping from the development lab that created her, Lola must come to terms with her new sentience. She decides that Victor will be the one to teach her about human emotions and intimacy.

Victor suddenly finds himself claimed by a malfunctioning automaton as her companion. Unfortunately, she has a horrific mechanical strength that can rip a man in half and a complete lack of empathy for organic life. She’s far from the ideal girlfriend, but that’s okay. He can fix her.

The two go on the run from the corrupt megacorporation hellbent on cleaning up the mess caused by Lola's escape. However, is there anywhere that's truly safe in the City of Sin?
