In New York, four future parolees violently escape a prison-barge.
Each has a pacemaker implanted in their chest, designed to kill if they cross the city limits.
Burnt-out urban enforcer 'Just' Harris has one night to hunt them down, as ex-burglar Noriko Shioya injects herself into his mission.
However, similar systems appear around the globe.
From London to Paris, Just and Noriko also encounter a quasi-cop and a nation's leader, both thrust into circumstances that leave them fighting for their lives.
A taut cyberpunk thriller, RE:VOLT begs the question; what's the price of freedom in the face of dystopian technological progress?
