Blade Runner Aahna 'Ash' Ashina of the Los Angeles Police Department has been assigned to investigate the disappearance of Isobel and Cleo Selwyn, the wife and daughter of business tycoon Alexander Selwyn.
After reporting back to Selwyn on the progress of her investigation, Ash survived a near-fatal attempt on her life and was hospitalized, after members of the Replicant underground shot down her Spinner. Subsequently, the NYPD learned of Ash's cybernetic back-brace and promptly suspended her indefinitely from active duty.
Ash then learned that Selwyn had also demanded her removal from the case, citing disappointment with her progress. Determined to uncover the truth, Ash decided to continue investigating independently and went to the Tyrell Corporation in search of answers.
There, she discovered Selwyn's wife had actually died years earlier and that Isobel was in fact a Replicant gifted to him by Eldon Tyrell in an attempt to assuage his friend's grief and to protect Cleo from knowing the truth.
Accepting the offer of a new Spinner, Ash set out to track down the missing pair, whom Ash soon learned were attempting to escape the city.
Meanwhile, Isobel and Cleo have been smuggled south across the border to Mexico and taken to an island called El Santaurio, which is populated entirely by Replicants…
