Lucy pulls you into the neon. David fights so hard to survive it that he stops being human. You watch both of them lose everything in ten episodes that move so fast you can't look away, and the animation never lets you breathe long enough to deny what's happening until it's too late. The city doesn't care if you're good or desperate or in love. It only cares that you're profitable right up until you're not.

Night City is a futuristic Californian metropolis where dreams rarely survive. David Martinez, a teenager from the slums, attends the elite Arasaka Academy to fulfill his hardworking mother's hope that he will one day rise to the top of the powerful security corporation. After a run-in with a street gang wrecks his life, he finds a Sandevistan, cyberware that grants superhuman speed, and has it implanted in his back to take revenge on one of his tormentors. The act gets him expelled. Having seen what he can do, the data thief Lucy offers to team up with him, drawing him into the world of edgerunners: cyborg outlaws who break any law for money and who often die, if their implants do not break their minds first. With everything to lose, David stakes it all on surviving a corrupt system. The standalone ten-episode action drama is set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe.
