Ten years ago, an unexplained explosion rocked the city’s Sector-K district leaving it home to a horde of rampaging, killer mecha and a lethal nanomachine plague known as ‘The Rot.’ Today, the sector is rebranded as ‘Killtopia’ - the most brutal bloodsport on the planet. High-tech hunters known as ‘Wreckers’ flood Japan to destroy the mechs in exchange for Rot medication, infinite wealth, and limitless social influence. While on a routine hunt, a rookie Wrecker called Shinji encounter’s Crash, the world’s first sentient mecha. Shinji learns that The Rot’s cure lies within Crash’s code, and could save the life of his dying sister, Omi. Together, Shinji, Crash and a misfit band of hackers and slum rats team up to cure The Rot while being hunted by Yakuza crime lords, android assassins and every Wrecker in Neo Tokyo. Meanwhile, as the death toll of the hunt rises, an ancient digital entity watches the mayhem unfold from the shadows, waiting for the right moment to reveal itself to the world… Can Shinii and Crash survive long enough to cure the planet, or does the universe have bigger plans for our heroes?
