U.S. Marshal OLIVER SHARP and a group of U.S. Marshals keep watch over the Karver family in a futuristic version of Los Angeles. Marshal MATSUNAGA brings pizzas for dinner, and the team is momentarily distracted by this while a bomb-carrying delivery drone sneaks into the apartment complex in which the team is hiding. While pursuing the bomb-laden drone, Sharp is unable to stop a highly-skilled assassin droid from brutally executing the Karver family and remaining Marshals. Sharp returns to the apartment and, witnessing the horror in front of him, is unable to do anything about it.
One year later, Sharp trains at a gun range, ferociously attacking paper targets in the shape of droids. He briefly meets with Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal ROBIN ZAVALA before heading off to another meeting with LARIAT, a young cyberpunk hipster with whom Sharp interrogates rogue droids in order to ascertain the identity of the droid that attacked the Karver family under his watch. When neither of the captive droids are the one responsible for the attack, Sharp orders Lariat to have the droids “white rendered,” completely erasing and resetting all of their data and memories.
Meanwhile, NORA, a droid businesswoman, meets...
