What happens in Droid from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In Los Angeles in 2020, crime is up 200%, pushing the city toward a fragile, neon-lit edge between order and chaos. The police, a force known as the Eliminators, find themselves clashing with the Droid Warriors of Azteca, a rising faction whose soldiers march in stark, militaristic style. Azteca’s operations are led by a formidable presence, brought to life by Lorrie Lovett, and the threat feels extraordinarily personal to one man: Taylor, a former top Eliminator who is pulled back into the front lines by pressure from his past and a dangerous blackmail scheme.
