    [synopsis] => Early in the 21st Century, the Tyrell Corporation advanced Robot evolution to the Nexus phase - a being virtually identical to a human - known as a Replicant. 
 
Replicants were used Off-world as slave labor. Those who escaped to Earth were hunted by Blade Runner Units ordered to kill any trespassing Replicant upon detection. 
 
In 2022, a Replicant attack on the Tyrell Corporation forced the company into bankruptcy and erased all records of existing Replicants. The surviving Nexus 8 models disappeared with the help of the Replicant Underground. Many Replicants remained in servitude. 
 
In 2027, Aahna "Ash" Ashina, a former Blade Runner, rejoined the department to hunt down fugitive Replicants. Her superiors are unaware that her loyalties are divided. Her lover, Freysa, is a leader in the Replicant Underground. 
 
While investigating a report of a rogue Replicant at the Los Angeles seawall construction site, Ash discovered that a Nexus 6 Replicant, Yotun, whom she had failed to retire 12 years previously, had somehow outlived his expiration date and had become the leader of a Replicant guerrilla army. 
 
Learning of her investigation, Yotun had Ash abducted before launching an all-out attack upon Los Angeles, destroying the newly constructed seawall, and killing the city's political and corporate elite who had gathered to witness the opening ceremony. 
 
Meanwhile, Ash, finding herself a prisoner in Yotun's base, attempted to escape but was recaptured by Yotun. He proceeded to subject her to a drug-induced brainwashing process before submersing her in one of his Replicant rejuvenation tanks...
