Synopsis

The year is 2084 and the human race is fighting alien militia to save the last remnant of civilization. A young heroine named Milly escapes the war and jumps back in time to present-day Japan in an attempt to change history and prevent the demise of her people. Milly's return lands her in the middle of a local crime war between Miyamoto, a street-smart gunman, and Mizoguchi, Japan's crime leader. Milly must coerce Miyamoto to help chase down the extraterrestrial and save the human race--but first, Milly must convince Miyamoto she's for real. In the visceral, dark, cold world of the streets, these two fight against the evil and ignorance that will destroy everything.
