An intense firefight erupts in a claustrophobic, neon-drenched alleyway of a futuristic megacity. Two rival gangs, one clad in punk-rock attire with mohawks and chrome, the other in sleek, corporate security armor, exchange laser fire. Explosions bloom, and sparks fly from ricocheting shots. Graffiti covers every surface of the towering buildings, and a broken sign for 'Noodle Bar' hangs precariously, flickering erratically.
