Synopsis
Warrior Deunan and cyborg Briareos, lovers and E.S.W.A.T. partners, face challenges when experimental Bioroid Tereus joins their team.
Deunan, a young female warrior, and Briareos, a veteran cyborg-soldier, are both partners and lovers. As members of E.S.W.A.T., the elite special forces serving Olympus, they are deployed whenever trouble strikes. The two fighters find their partnership tested in a new way by the arrival of a new member to their ranks—an experimental Bioroid named Tereus. (Source: ANN)
