Life in Columbia was a dream...for a while. At first, the problems seemed to be no big deal ‹ until it became clear that a virus was affecting the municipal employees of ColumbiaŠall of whom are actually bio-animatronic robots. Now these robots have gone from civil servants to criminal masterminds ‹ and they've turned Columbia from an idyllic community into a hellhole of crime and urban blight! Now Foyle's 28-year-old son Tucker has returned to Columbia fresh from the Navy SEALs, and with the help of his father and a posse of concerned Columbia citizens will begin the slow process of taking back the night. But is he too late?"
