In a near-future city where humans and machines blur together, a cyborg detective investigates a string of killings linked to lifelike android dolls that malfunction, murder, and then self-destruct. A single leftover clue—an eerie recorded plea for help—pulls the case into a darker mystery about technology, identity, and exploitation.
