The city is already rotting, and Branch exists in the spaces nobody else will look. Buzz carrying a Boomer partner isn't a gimmick; it's the show asking whether the thing saving lives is actually alive, and whether it matters if you can't tell the difference. Three episodes of hand-drawn neon and underground EDM that understands what cyberpunk actually costs, not the aesthetics, the exhaustion of working in a system designed to collapse.
SYNOPSIS
In a sprawling megacity where synthetic humanoids called Boomers walk among ordinary people, a covert division of the AD Police handles cases too dangerous for regular cops. Branch operates in the shadows, tasked with containing crimes that blur the line between mechanical malfunction and criminal intent. Buzz carries the weight of partnering with a Boomer officer, forcing him to confront uncomfortable questions about consciousness and loyalty. His partner Michaelson grapples with something darker: the creeping suspicion that the distinction between human and artificial might be meaningless. As the city's infrastructure crumbles and corporate interests tighten their grip, Branch finds itself caught between serving an institution that may not deserve their loyalty and protecting citizens who increasingly can't trust each other. The cases pile up, each one revealing how thin the barrier between order and chaos has become. In three intense episodes, Branch races against time and their own doubts to contain a world coming apart at the seams.
