In a dystopian future, mind-control technology has taken society by storm. The technology, engineered by the reclusive billionaire Ken Castle, allows players to control human avatars in a massive multiplayer online game called "Society", a disturbing reflection of the real world where anything goes. But Castle's true masterpiece is "Slayers", a more sinister game that recruits death row inmates as the avatars, with the promise of freedom to any convict who survives thirty sessions. Each inmate is controlled by a player from the outside world, turning real-life combat into entertainment for the masses.

Among these inmates is Kable, controlled by the young gamer Simon. Regarded as a true warrior within the game and a celebrity among the gaming community, Kable is only a few victories away from earning his freedom. Outside of the game, movements begin to rise against Castle's twisted creations. A group called the "Humanz" opposes the dehumanizing aspect of Castle's technology and seeks to expose his underlying agenda. As Kable attempts to navigate through the deadly games, keeping his reflexes sharp and his wits sharper, he must also unravel the complexities of his own past and the system that holds him captive. All the while, Castle continues to manipulate events to his advantage, maintaining control over his empire of games and players.
