The protagonist of the series is Scud, an average Heart Breaker Series 1373 model assassin. On his first mission, he is sent to kill Jeff, a rampaging female mutant with mousetraps for hands, an electrical plug for a head, and a squid strapped to her torso with a belt. After mortally wounding her, he realises he will die when she does, and desiring to live, puts her on life support, becoming a freelance assassin in order to pay for her maintenance to keep himself alive. Several spin-offs have been developed.
