Welcome to Free City - a wretched hive of scum and villainy in far orbit around Saturn. Beyond the reach of the Republic of Saturn's law, Free City is the number one party spot for people who want to enjoy pleasures illegal in the Republic - geisha and recreational drugs. Once the pleasure girls were slaves, available to be subjected to any abuse as long as the customer could pay, and the police were more interested in collecting bribes than protecting the innocent. Now Chief of Police Ivan Nelsan and Deputy Chief Lizbat Yanis are doing their best to clean up Free City. Since Ivan's reforms, the geisha are not slaves, technically - but have their lives really improved? Saturn's economy is in downturn, times are hard and the poorest in Free City are facing starvation. The geisha have to submit to ever worse abuse to keep themselves fed, knowing they'll lose their jobs if they refuse. Amid these hardships, the most serious deviants visit Free City, knowing that the desperate girls can't afford to turn down any work no matter what the fiends want to do to them. Follow Ivan and Lizbat as they try to do some good in a society that's slipping ever faster into drug-fuelled madness, desperate inequality, violence and chaos. As Free City teeters on the brink of collapse into total anarchy, Ivan and Lizbat suddenly find themselves fighting for their own careers, perhaps their very lives. They are attacked on all side by corrupt police officers, the vultures of the press and powerful corporations that would profit from seeing them out of the way. Can they survive?
For they must act quickly to prevent a Saturnalia of lust and violence.
