Plot Summary
Five years following the events of Code 8, the LCPD has reformed their militarized tech program, replacing the majority of their armed humanoid robots with non-lethal companion K9 robots, similar to dogs. Under the leadership of Sergeant “King” Kingston, the project has been a success and the streets have never been safer. Having just got out of prison, Connor works as a janitor at a youth community center, run by Mina. There, he keeps his head down and tries to stay out of trouble, leaving his past behind.
Garrett has taken control of an apartment complex called Towers where he runs his “ethical” drug empire, paying powered people for their spinal fluid to make the drug Psyke. Pavani “Pav” Gilani and her older brother Tarak live in poverty within this community. When Tarak’s desperation leads him to steal a bag of cash from Garrett’s gang, Tarak gets caught by King and his unit of corrupt cops, who are being paid off by Garrett. To cover it up, King orders a K9 unit to hunt him down, killing and injecting him with Psyke to make it look like an overdose. Pav witnesses the murder, and using her rare ability, she causes the robotic K9 to malfunction and escapes.
Pav finds refuge at the community center, where Connor and Mina help her stay hidden from the LCPD. Connor seeks out Garrett’s help to broker a peace deal, which includes wiping Pav’s memory of the murder. But when Connor realizes the mind wiper is erasing every single memory she has of Tarak, he fights to break her free. Turning to Mina, they attempt to flee the city together but get ambushed by Garrett and his crew. During a tense standoff between Connor and Garrett, King deploys robotic Guardians and orders them to kill everyone on site. Mina sacrifices herself so Connor, Pav, and Garrett can escape.
