    10 years ago, Hells Gate appeared in Tokyo. Its appearance also marked a new breed of humans: Contractors. Humans who have lost their emotions and gained psychic powers, their existence is kept secret by the government. Hei is a powerful Contractor with a dark past and many secrets.

    What is the Syndicate and what is Hei's real motivation?

    The first time I started watching this series was on the computer when I was really tired. I thought it was kind of interesting, but when I stopped watching, I forgot to go back and finish it. A few years later I found it had been released on DVD, so I thought it was time to check it out again. I was completely blown away. I was hooked from the first episode and every episode after.
