| Overview: | In an alternate Japan, some 10 years after a major war, poverty and crime stoke the flames of civil unrest. Anti-government guerillas, calling themselves the Sect, spark bloody clashes in the streets. The police respond with a crack unit of heavily-armoured cop-soldiers, the C.A.P.O., to tackle the increasingly well-armed Sect. The C.A.P.O. unit find themselves in a very high-pressure position. On the one hand, their very presence escalates the climate of violence with the Sect. On the other hand, regular cops resent and distrust them. At the center of this firestorm is a young C.A.P.O. officer named Fuse.
When Fuse hesitates to kill a young sect courrier she commits suicide with the bomb she is carrying he is blamed for his failure and demoted back to training camp. Deeply troubled by the experience, Fuse visits the girl's grave, and there meets her sister, with whom he begins a complex relationship. At the same time, a sinister conspiracy is brewing deep in the labyrith of the police system, pitting a secret group of extremists within the C.A.P.O., the Wolf Brigade (Jin-Roh) against the politically inclined bureacrats of the police force. Fuse and the girl are nothing more then pawns of pawns, but who's pawns are they?
