There is a secret counterterrorism unit for the Italian government known only as "The Social Welfare Agency." Its mission: to rescue troubled girls and turn them into heartless cyborg assassins using the latest advances in cyber-technology. The newest inductee into the Agency is a second generation cyborg called Petrushka, who may be the Agency's most powerful operative yet. Petrushka is given a formidable trial-by-fire mission, together with her handler Alessandro, to foil an assassination attempt. |
