In the gothic landscape of the future, the Persona Century Corporation owns 99% of the world and everyone in it. From their orbital citadel, they rule their subjects with an iron hand. They thought they wielded absolute power. They were wrong. There are isolated regions of the world which are beyond the claw-like reach of the Corporation. One of these urban pockets of rebellion is a dangerous and lawless free-zone known as Kabuki Town - located in what was once the Shinjuku section of Tokyo - also known as the Darkside of Tokyo. Free of the Persona Century Corporation's stormtroopers, Kabuki Town has become an anarchistic haven for misfits, violent criminls, and idealistic rebels. Now, the time of reckoning has come.

But the Corportaion is aware of the threat he poses, and they have an army of stormtroopers, super-human assassins, and the resources of an entire world to throw against him.
