NOTES

New Tokyo, 2051, a corporate state experiencing the best and worst of humanity where every individual is interlinked by greed or ambition. One misstep or misunderstanding can spiral out of control where the only solution can be found at the end of a smoking gun, bloody blade or a dollar bill. The unyielding Victor King leads Midas Industries, a company involved in every facet of life from war to peace. He is determined to instate the Like-For-Like Law, making crimes against androids equal to crimes against humans. Victor pulls all the strings holding the megalopolis together to achieve his goal, including its underbelly of intrigue, organised crime and terrorism. He, like many others, will do whatever it takes. Ryuu of the fading Miyamoto yakuza family fears his culture and his children being lost to corporate power and rival families. Xander Henderson uses violence and terror to manipulate others into doing unspeakable acts to bring down the corporations. However, as usual, it is often honest citizens who suffer the most. One such person is Tony Nickelsen, an augmented factory worker. He only wants to protect his family and his men but finds himself in the middle of a dangerous game. Every struggle is about to come to a head and no-one, not even Victor King, will escape unscathed
