The drained corpse carries DNA ninety-nine percent his own. The brother he buried twenty years ago is alive — mind-wiped, weaponized, and programmed to kill him.
In neon-soaked New Los Angeles, detective Dante Cross is handed a drained corpse whose DNA is a ninety-nine percent match to his own. The dead man is his brother Raze — who is actually alive: Subject 001 of Project Alpha, a bio-werewolf pushed through 473 memory wipes and programmed by a chip Hale can trigger anywhere. Dante refuses to fight back, reaches for the old memories, and teams up with Nyx, Hale's own daughter, to stop the Alpha virus before it turns the whole city.

The chief gives detective Dante Cross forty-eight hours to crack the fifth drained body in the city. The crime-scene DNA comes back a ninety-nine percent match to him, because Dante is in the vampire gene bank. The encrypted file behind the body changes the case: this test subject is his brother. Dante believed Raze took a bullet twenty years ago. He is alive, turned into a weapon — Subject 001, 473 missions completed, 473 memory wipes, more than four hundred people taken out every time his brain is wiped worse than a dog. A crossed-out phrase in the file reads gene fusion.
When the brothers meet, Raze is feral and remembers nothing. His chip lets Hale wipe him remotely on the spot, and the order is kill him. Dante will not raise a hand. He tells Raze about the night they were seven: Raze snuck out past curfew, got chased by three stray dogs, and Dante carried him home on his back while Raze said he smelled like sunshine. The fragments crack the programming. The woman beside them, Nyx, lays out her own secret: she is Hale's daughter. Her mother found out about the experiments and tried to turn him in, so he killed her. Nyx has been hacking his logs for three years; he keeps writing the same phrase, perfect fusion.
The Alpha virus starts spreading through every chip in the city. The team has seventy-two hours to take down the core server or the city is gone. Three keys can stop it: one held by Nyx, one in Raze's armor beside his bio core, and the third inside Dante's eye — the implant Hale put in him twenty years ago, the one that has been watching him ever since. Hale's endgame is to turn the whole city into half-breeds through the virus, then use the perfect fusion blood to unify their evolution.
Silver hair, dark long coat, the detective built from guilt and steel. His own blood sits in the vampire gene bank, and his eye carries a twenty-year-old implant Hale has been watching through. When the killer in front of him turns out to be his brother, he refuses to fight back.
"We're not chasing a killer. We're rescuing my brother." — episode 2
Dark-haired, armored, blue-eyed, the brother Dante carried home as a boy. He has completed 473 missions and survived 473 memory wipes, killed more than four hundred people and forgotten every one. A chip in his head lets Hale trigger him anywhere, and the last family he was programmed to kill was his mother.
"Brother, you looked for me for 20 years. So now you found me. What now?" — episode 1
Short dark hair, mechanical arm, the woman who has been inside Hale's systems for three years. Her mother discovered the experiments and tried to report him; Hale killed her for it. She knows the phrase he keeps writing, perfect fusion, and she needs Dante's fangs to put the whole project in the ground.
"I didn't find you by accident. I'm Hale's daughter." — episode 2
The opening arc covers the DNA match, the brother meeting, the confession from Nyx, and the seventy-two-hour virus clock. Four editorial picks from episodes 1 to 3 — no ending spoilers.
The fifth drained body in New Los Angeles returns a crime-scene DNA match of ninety-nine percent to Dante Cross. The encrypted test file behind it identifies the subject as his brother, alive after twenty years: 473 missions, 473 memory wipes, more than four hundred people taken out.
Raze confronts Dante feral and mind-wiped. Hale's voice orders the kill: the last family this assassin was sent after was their mother. Dante stands unarmed in front of the brother who no longer recognizes him.
Dante refuses to chase the brother who just tried to gut him. He tells him about being seven, sneaking out past curfew, being chased by three stray dogs, and the ride home on his back where Raze said he smelled like sunshine. The old memory starts cracking the programming.
The Alpha virus spreads through every chip in the city; the core server falls in seventy-two hours or the city is gone. The three keys split between Nyx, Raze's bio core, and Dante's implanted eye — the eye Hale put inside him twenty years ago.

Our editors' notes on the opening arc — personal picks, not audience feedback.
"The DNA match does the work a long prologue would. A drained body, a gene bank, a brother pronounced dead twenty years ago — the show front-loads the mystery and then hands the detective his own family as the crime scene."
"The rescue rests on one childhood story: seven years old, three dogs, a ride on Dante's back, a boy who said his brother smelled like sunshine. It keeps the action scene tender, and it is the only line Raze's programming cannot answer."
"Episode three turns the brother story into a city war: the virus, three keys split between three people, and an eye planted in the detective two decades earlier. The stakes scale fast, and the implant thread keeps Dante hunted even when he is winning."
Best for viewers who like neon dystopian action thrillers with vampire-werewolf lore and a rescue-my-brother core; if you want a slow detective mystery or a romance lead, this series runs on fight scenes and server clocks. Compared with most short sci-fi actioners, this one leans hard into family memory rather than world-building exposition — that focus keeps the ten episodes tight, at the cost of side-world depth.
