Paradigm’s life begins at DUPA genetics, a company that sells prodigy children to the rich and powerful. Something goes wrong during his growth, leaving him horribly mutated. To protect their reputation, DUPA abandons him in a nearby post Neo-Soviet abandoned town, where he must fend for himself.

He finds solace in music and dreams of becoming the best electronic music artist the world has ever seen. His past catches up with him, however, and he is forced to step up as the world’s saviour when he would rather finish his latest EP.

Along the way, he meets a range of strange characters, including a psychopathic superhero, an evil sloth, a secretary knight, and a glam metal cult leader pug.
