Since the recent disappearance of 8 Man, a mysterious cyborg superhero created by Professor Tani, the city reels under "terrorist" assaults from murderous, drug-crazed street gangs. With 8 Man out of the picture, Daigo, a powerful industrialist, plans to run for mayor on a platform of law and order.

Coincidentally, Hazuma, an ex-cop who now runs his own private detective agency, is hired to track down a missing scientist alleged to have made off with cybernetics from Professor Tani's laboratory. The missing hardware is reappearing as psycho-activated weapons grafted onto the bodies of the rogue "cyber-junkies".

It is up to Chief Tanaka and the police department to stop this growing crime wave without the aid of their former ace-in-the-hole - 8 Man. The stakes are high, with the fate of an entire city hanging in the balance.

Based on a popular 1960's Japanese comic book and animation hero, 8 Man After draws from Kazumasa Hirai and Jiro Kuwata's original SF adventure to create a bold new super hero. The production moves away from its obvious nostalgic roots to achieve an overall effect that is part Philip K. Dick, part Philip Marlowe.
