In 2065, ten years after Los Angeles had been hit by a nuclear bomb allegedly sent by artificial intelligence, an undercover US agent, Joshua Taylor, lives with his pregnant wife Maya in New Asia, a region where AIs, unlike in the West, are not banned. However, military troops attack Joshua's home and his wife and friends disappear in an explosion.
Five years later, Joshua is sent on a reconnaissance mission to find and destroy Nirmata, leader of the AIs, in New Asia. His commanding officers inform him that Maya is not dead. Joshua finds the "weapon" that Nirmata has created is but a six-year old girl, which he calls Alphie. Joshua goes rogue and decides to protect Alphie in order to find Maya.
