Burn was once human.
He also had a family and friends, until a metallic angel of death took
everything from him. This mechanical monster, Shoftiel, was one of many
living machines made to help humanity that revolted and declared war on
their creators. It tore through Burn's home and wreaked havoc on his
city until the buildings collapsed, crashing down upon them.
Emerging from the rubble, Burn and Shoftiel discover their once separate
bodies have become one -- neither human nor machine, but a freak union
of both. Internally their minds are caught in a raging battle for
control. Just as mankind must struggle against the sentients for
survival, Burn must find the strength to overcome Shoftiel's genocidal
programming to retain whatever's left of his humanity.
