This included the show's worldbuilding phase, which was led by world designer Laura Cechanowicz, who brought in Joshua Dawson to serve as world-building architect.

Plot

Set in a near-future and technologically optimized Tokyo. The story follows Kai, a lonely young hacker whose life changes when she becomes involved with Suma Garage, a group of underground couriers who carry out deliveries for people in need. Through their work, Kai is drawn into parts of the city hidden beneath its orderly surface, where drugs, crime, and corruption continue to operate despite the city's polished image. As Kai and the couriers investigate further, they uncover signs of a larger conspiracy and work to expose the truth behind Tokyo's supposedly perfect system.
