Officially, the Social Welfare Agency is a government sponsored corporation that's in the business of saving lives. At least, that's the ruse. In reality, it's an agency on the fringe of technology. They give terminal patients another shot at life using cybernetic implants. Having survived the brutal slaughter of her family, Henrietta awakens to her new life at the Agency with a re-built body and no memory of the past...

Henrietta is quickly becoming regarded as one of the most efficient assassins at the Social Welfare Agency. However, life for the other girls at the Agency is not so sunny. Every weapon has its flaws...

First, the grizzly murder of a fratello gets Section One involved, with an investigator sent in to get to the bottom of the "cyborg problem." As the Agency scrambles to protect their girls, Henrietta and Jose find themselves on an impromptu vacation, having been sent away "for their own safety. " What are they hiding? And what does Henrietta know about the deadly truth?

Having survived the brutal slaughter of her family, Henrietta awakens to her new life at the agency with a re-built body and no memory of the past. She has been teamed with her handler Jose, who is responsible for her training and conditioning, turning her into the perfect killing machine. Henrietta strives to find her place within the agency, doing her best to win Jose's affection.

When the Social Welfare Agency investigates the disappearance of an operative, their inquiry leads them right into the lair of their rival, the Five Republics. The assassin Triela infiltrates the hostile organization, but her search is cut short when she finds herself staring down the barrel of a gun...

Though brainwashed to be cold-blooded killers, the child assassins of Section Two continue to grow beyond the range of their "conditioning." Triela struggles with tears that never come, while Henrietta must deal with her growing feelings for her handler Giuseppe. But there is still hope in Triela, who is slowly coming to terms with her defeat at the hands of Pinocchio... and remembering the girl she once was.

The conflict between Padania and the Social Welfare Agency reaches new heights as Padania agents target the ex-fiancee of Marco, Angelica's handler. The Agency retaliates with an all-out strike against the elusive Christiano, a move that once again pits Triela against the deadly, knife-wielding Pinocchio... in a battle that only one of them will survive.

The Social Welfare Agency's cyborg program moves into the next phase with the introduction of Petrushka, the most capable assassin it has ever produced. Paired with her handler Alessandro, Petrushka will be called upon to foil a Padania bombing on her very first outing... if she doesn't get herself killed first.
