From the creators of APPLESEED (HIFF 2007), comes a Full CG animation Sci-Fi Action film. 2077 - Ten years has passed since Japan had decided to leave the United Nations to go into isolation. They have completely blocked the islands with an ultra magnetic field called RACE that prevents anyone to see what is going inside, nor for people to travel in/out of the country. This was a result to opposing a treaty the United Nations had passed, preventing the development of all bio and robot technology that has evolved drastically and has become a threat to the human beings. When Japan finally begins to move, the US government sends in a special force team SWORD, lead by a female commander Vexille, to investigate what is really happening inside the closed country within a seventy-two hour time frame.
