In an unspecified amount of millennia into the future, the world has long been ravaged by a cataclysm thousands of years ago, there exists a refuge on this ruined Earth -- a Domed City named "Romdeau" where humans and their android servants, the AutoReivs, live in a state of controlled peace. This constructed paradise that houses its wealthy citizens and unfortunate immigrants is ruled by a Regent and his governing council. They demand that complete order and servitude is kept within Romdeau to keep chaos at its gates at bay. However, this utopian landscape is soon shattered by a series of horrifying murders. Re-L Mayer, a female inspector from the Citizen Information Bureau, along with her AutoReiv entourage Iggy, are tasked to solve the murder cases. When Re-L and Iggy investigate the latest crime scene, Re-L is attacked by a mysterious creature, neither human nor AutoReiv, that is seemingly drawn to her.
