What if your partner's killer curves came with killer secrets?
Ross Sylibus is assigned to a police unit on a Martian colony, to find that women are being murdered by a psychotic named D'anclaude. He is assigned a very unorthodox partner named Naomi Armitage, who seems to have links to the victims. To stir things up more, every victim is found to be an illegally made third-generation android.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is actually a condensed film version of a four-episode OVA, with Kiefer Sutherland and Elizabeth Berkley replacing the original Japanese voice cast for Western release.
Armitage directly interrogates the 'gynoid' tradition from Metropolis through Blade Runner, asking why we keep building women to destroy.
