In a vast, multicultural and decimated urban landscape, post- financial collapse, SAWA, beautiful but emotionally detached, lives a secret life as a covert assassin.
The daughter of a police detective involved in the investigation of human trafficking, she was orphaned at the tender age of 12 when an unknown assailant targeted both of her parents.
Now 18, Sawa is a human time-bomb intent upon eliminating members of the flesh-cartels whom she presumes murdered her family -- men who exploit the defenseless children of a collapsed society for the pleasure of high-paying, foreign clients.
Her father’s ex-partner, INSPECTOR KARL AKER, is a renegade cop who believes that the only way to eradicate the problems of a corrupt and failed state is to take the law into his own hands. With his help they have sworn to avenge her parent’s death by taking out the head of the cartel, a mysterious man known only as The Emir.
Sequestered in a cryptic lifestyle that she shares only with him, Sawa is dependent upon Aker. A powerful, dominating figure, twice her age, he is a supportive, surrogate father, and under his tutelage she has become an emotionless killing machine skilled at infiltrating the flesh-cartels and liquidating its members.
