he shares his encounters with the darker side of law enforcement
and faces not only his personal demons, but actual demons created
by the State. Nudity. LEAD.
JANE
SIKORSKI: 20s-30s, police detective android. Although she doesn’t
realize that she’s artificial, she’s programmed never to be
shocked or emotionally affected by the violence she sees. .
. until a flaw in her programming causes her to begin thinking
for herself. LEAD.
ATHENA:

she has attained sentience and self-awareness. As she begins
to take charge of her own life, she turns her assassin skills
against her former controllers. Nudity. LEAD.

his sleeve to make sure he gets what he wants. SUPPORTING.

the "pay-for-performance" initiative for the privatized

by the military, still exhibits traits of his mental illness,
