In a dystopian future, the city of Detroit is approaching bankruptcy after a series of failed business plans and drop of stocks, and are now struggling with their plans to create the new Delta City. Conglomerate Omni Consumer Products (OCP) are set to have the city default on their debt before purchasing the entire city. To speed up the process, OCP creates a heavily armed private security force called the Urban Rehabilitators, nicknamed "Rehabs," under the command of Paul McDaggett. Although intended to combat rising crime in Old Detroit, augmenting the ranks of the Detroit Police Department in apprehending violent criminals, it has actually been set up to forcibly relocate the residents of Cadillac Heights. Nikko, a Japanese-American computer whiz kid, loses her parents in the process.
