Dreams will perish in the Night City, a futuristic metropolis of California. As a teenager living in the slums of the city, David Martinez is trying to fulfill his mother's lifelong wish that he would reach the top of Arasaka, the world's leading security corporation. In the end, he enrolled at the prestigious Arasaka Academy while his mother worked tirelessly to keep their family afloat.
When an incident with a street gang ruins David's life, he stumbles across the software that controls the Sandevistan network - a prosthetic that gives its wearer superhuman speed. Driven by rage, David implanted the device in his back, using it to exact revenge on one of his tormentors. This got him kicked out of the academy, shattering the hopes that once made his mother proud.
After witnessing David's newfound ability, beautiful data thief Lucyna "Lucy" Kushinada offers to partner with him, giving him the ticket of salvation. However, joining Lucy introduces David to the world of the Edgerunners — cyborg criminals who will break the law for money. Edgerunners often lose their lives, if the network control software doesn't break their minds first; But in the battle to survive inside a corrupt system, David is ready to risk it all.
