Set three years after the events of ''Blade Runner'', the Tyrell Corporation has developed the new Nexus-8 line of replicants, who now possess natural, open-ended lifespans equivalent to that of a regular human. This causes a massive backlash among the human populace, who begin hunting down and killing replicants, seeing them as a, now very credible, threat to humanity. One of these replicants, Trixie, is attacked by a group of thugs but is rescued by Iggy, who effortlessly disarms and kills the thugs. Iggy reveals to her that he used to be a soldier on a planet called Calantha, but deserted when he realized the enemy soldiers he had been fighting and killing were also replicants.
