In the overcrowded, noisy and sweltering streets of New York, in the year 2060, paranoia, fear and poverty are everywhere. An energy crisis paved the way for a new political party, which promised to solve the country’s problem. However, this administration quickly began enforcing dictatorial legislation that left anyone who opposed the government outcast from society; unable to get a job, cut off from the power and forced to survive on the streets. Unsurprisingly, this led to riots and the, eventual, emergence of underground rebel factions. It’s the job of a task force, known as PeaceKeepers to bring these rebels to justice. Heller was one of the first recruited to the new department, but what he’d once idealistically seen as a worthy cause, becomes a bitter pill to swallow when he is forced to shoot and kill an old college friend, Matthew Ballow, in the line of duty. Now, Heller must find out about Ballow’s connection to the rebels and, more importantly, why he was prepared to risk his life for the cause. His job is made that much more difficult by the presence of a beautiful, young journalist who is reporting on the case.
