While on a routine hunt, a rookie Wrecker called Shinji encounter's Crash, the world's first sentient mecha. Shinji learns that The Rot's cure lies within Crash's code, and could save the life of his dying sister, Omi. Together, Shinji, Crash and a misfit band of hackers and slum rats team up to cure The Rot while being hunted by Yakuza crime lords, android assassins and every Wrecker in Neo Tokyo. Meanwhile, as the death toll of the hunt rises, an ancient digital entity watches the mayhem unfold from the shadows, waiting for the right moment to reveal itself to the world...
