PLOT.OUTLINE...:

They were known as the 'Watchdogs of Hell.'
It is the end of the 20th century. The Metropolitan Police
have begun to lose control of the city; crime runs rampant
and people are no longer safe. The solution: the
establishment of the Anti Vicious Crime Heavily Armored
Mobile Special Investigations Unit. Created by men and women
of high intellect and physical strength who had a
particularly strong, even fanatical sense of justice, they
were nicknamed 'Kerberos' (loose Japanese translation of
'Cerberus'), and armed with special 'reinforcement gear' body
armor and heavy weaponry.

But what started as a noble and courageous effort to stop the
onslaught of crime soon spiraled out of control. Their
overzealous actions and fanatical hatred of evil soon led to
less-than policeman-like behavior. Public criticism grew as
their investigational tactics grew more aggressive, crueler,
and more corrupt. The turning point occurred when a Kerberos
member, during a routine investigation, beat a misdemeanor
offender to death.

This was the catalyst, the justification to shut the group
down forever and dissolve it completely. However, there were
those in the Kerberos group that refused to disarm. Three of
the elite rebelled against the system, and fought their way
through the city. The other two become wounded, and were
unable to escape capture. Only oneùsenior detective Koichi
Todomeùmanaged to escape, and he promises the others that he
will return for them.

Several years later, Koichi, a fugitive from the government,
returns home for reasons that seem unclear. The city has
decayed at an exponential rate and is completely unlike the
place he left behind. Everything is surreal and strange,
blurred and nondescript. He wanders, trying to find some
semblance of his past, trying to find his comrades left
behind. But the city itself seems to resist him, and there
are those who realize the threat Koichi imposes, that his
return is more dangerous than anyone could realize.

TO.THE.SCENE...:

Recent events have shaken up considerably the scene as a
whole. While it is unfortunate, it is inevitable.
TheWretched will continue to pursue its goals and try to
bring you quality movies.

Also, we are aware that the few of you who read these
comments sometimes find them inappropriate; some even going
as far as to say we are condescending. (We love you SAPHiRE!)
I hope you all know we like to kid around a lot in this part
of our .nfo and that we are rarely trying to be negative.
Some points brought up in the past had a certain truth and
value to them we would back up any given day though.

But we all do make mistakes and as long as we try to keep it
civil, there should be no problem. Anyway, it would be nice
if groups in general strove to be a little more professional
in their endeavours and seek to help one another when in
need. We all can agree on this much ;)
