A crime free Megalopolis of five billion people, ruled completely by a minority City Council that divided the population into class fractions. The city has become a totalitarian state with the Pedestrian and Medial classed majority choked with fear by the Council's Authoritarian army. A1 and his lawmen demand order through violence and terror. The lower classes only right is to work hard for the future of Bustle.
Amongst the huge population are an unofficial class called Mazians that have created their own utopian society within the lowest depth levels of the stratoscraper buildings that pierce the atmosphere. Talk of revolution has increased throughout the city as kidnappings amongst the lower classes continue to rise. The Mazian leaders take advantage of these undercurrents of uprising and plan something thought impossible -- to ignite the masses and set them to fever pitch. To do that they need an icon -- 091177, the Pedestrian famed for discovering his identity and seen as a hero for the lower classes. 091177 has not been seen or heard of in 15 years. The people need their hero!
The battle for Bustle begins...
