Synopsis by Cammila Collar
It is the year 2808 and the criminals of the world now reside in a maximum security prison that orbits the Earth. A prisoner has no chance for escape and usually no chance to regain his freedom unless he becomes a member of the Cyber Police. These ex-cons return to Earth and try to stop the illegal activities that put them in jail in the first place. It's a tough job, but these former prisoners don't try to make a get-away: they're fitted with collars that track their every movement and if the prisoner tries to escape, the results are deadly. The Cyber Police capture all manner of bizarre criminals as they do the rounds in Cyber City, from double agents to genetic scientists turning normal human beings into vampires.
