Omni Consumer Products (OCP) begins its plan for the creation of Delta City. As part of this program, a special Rehab squad leaded by Commander Paul McDaggett is deployed as they evacuate the city in a forced manner tearing down part of the city. In this chaos, a young girl named Nikko is left alone and picked up by a group of citizens joining together to strike on OCP, first raiding a Police Department Armory Warehouse. Murphy is sent to the chase of this group, but he eventually ignored the order when he received a back up call from Anne Lewis and the other officers who were attacked by a group of Cyber Punks. This violation leads to the decision of finally cutting Murphy´s past memories for good, as he finds himself between the line of Law Enforcement and Popular Opinion when the law is beginning to be corrupted, and he is betrayed by the law he sought to uphold when Lewis is killed, and he is left for dead… all of this thanks to Directive 4: “Any attempt to arrest an officer of OCP results in Shut Down.” At the same time, the new younger CEO of OCP begins relations with a Japanese Cybernetics Corporation leaded by a man named Kanemitsu for Monetary support, leading into the deployment of the advanced Android Otomo, a fully skilled Ninja with full human appearance, but still a machine. Slowly as all of Detroit joins the Motor City´s cause, including the Police Department, McDaggett sees use for the arrested criminals to create his own army of criminals to strike down the City´s militia once and for all. The only hope, Murphy overcoming the control placed on him by Directive 4, and bring down this corrupted plan.

The movie starts out with Arthur, King of the Britons, looking for knights to sit with him at Camelot. He finds many knights including Sir Galahad the pure, Sir Lancelot the brave, the quiet Sir Bedevere, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Lancelot. They do not travel on horses, but pretend they do and have their servants bang coconuts to make the sound of horse’s hooves. Through satire of certain events in history (witch trials, the black plague) they find Camelot, but after literally a quick song and dance they decide that they do not want to go there. While walking away, God (who seems to be grumpy) come to them from a cloud and tells them to find the Holy Grail. They agree and begin their search…
