In a not-too-distant future, the city of Detroit faces a remarkable rise in crime and corruption. To combat this wave of violence, OmniCorp, a leader in military technology, seeks to implement an innovative robotic police program. When Officer Alex Murphy, a principled and fair police officer, is severely injured after a gang attack, OmniCorp sees the perfect opportunity to test its human-robot experiment.
Rescued at the last moment, Alex undergoes a procedure that transforms him into a cyborg, merging his body with advanced technology. However, this new being is caught in an internal conflict between his humanity and his programmed function as a police officer. As OmniCorp tries to manipulate him to serve its corporate interests and extensive plans for domination, Alex struggles to remember who he once was and what it means to be human.
With the help of a group of allies, including his wife and his old partner, Alex embarks on a mission to dismantle the corrupt power structure that threatens the city he vowed to protect. In his quest for personal justice and redemption, he will discover that the true struggle is not only against crime but also for control of his own life and identity. The battle between the human and the artificial reaches a critical point in this intense action story and reflection on the ethics of technology.
