In the year 2159, the world is a bleak place. Tech billionaire Roy Jansen knows this, having escaped the tyranny of the mainland as a young man. There, and in other places too, people are implanted with small devices - Animachips - tools which allow instant access to digital information with a thought. He joined the ranks of a desperate few who developed small havens of safety - island cities far from the reach of the oppressive regimes - which today are called Captowns. Yet, the Captowns are not as free from tyranny as one might imagine. A plot lurks, headed by a shadowy figure known as Petrucci, threatening the very core structure of the Captowns themselves. In an attempt to secure their hold, the group began a covert operation to either turn or remove the majority of powerful Captown leaders. Among their targets was Roy Jansen. Roy escaped an assassination attempt three years ago. Now he's on the run, having fled to the mainland for safety. He must evade the detection of the mainland regimes and maneuver through the landscapes of warring gangs, all while Petrucci's best hunters seek to end Roy once and for all. But, Roy has not forgotten the injustice committed against him, and he will stop at nothing to return to the Captowns, kill Petrucci, and reclaim his former life.
