Synopsis
Free-fighter Beck sets out to find her missing mentor in a dystopian world ruled by pharmaceutical corporations.
The future, our world... After years of health, economic and ecological crises, a global civil war breaks out, ignited by a huge pharmaceutical and political scandal denounced by the activist group C.H.A.O.S. 15 years later civilization has recovered, divided between large urban centers, under military and medical surveillance, and freer rural areas, where those who refuse this system of health control take refuge. It is in this divided world that Beck sets out in search of her mentor Kal, who has been missing for several days. This quest leads the young orphan to the town of Bajara, known, among other things, for its free-fighting competitions.

Now, she finds herself fighting her way to the answers she seeks, each victory a step closer to Kal. But theres something special about Beck, and its grabbed the attention of local officials, as well as the underground fighters!
