Yuki, un-affectionately called 'scrappy' by her owner, is a Smart Girl - an android servant used for everything from security and domestics to carnal pleasure. When she starts to malfunction, she is soon to be replaced and destroyed. But something in her changes, and Yuki doesn't accept her end, instead, she becomes self-aware... Taking a stand against her abusive master, Yuki goes on the run. Believed to be defective and hostile, she is hunted by Gorgona, and plans to fight back for the only thing that truly matters - her right to life and freedom.
