The cheeky, sarcastic robot detective, Seven Sinclair, is forced to use wit and hacking skills to prove his innocence in a murder case before the corrupt, gritty city can sink its concrete teeth into him. In a bleak future where daily smog warnings are routine and the politicians are dirtier than the environment, the people of Chicago turn to private investigators like Seven Sinclair when they want a case solved right.
