The military AI development company Chronoid attempts to develop the ultimate AI combat mercenary Jeong-i by cloning the brain of the legendary mercenary Yoon Jeong-i, who led countless missions to victory during endless civil wars.

Kim Hyun-joo plays the combat AI Jeong-i, and Kang Soo-yeon portrays Seo-hyun, the team leader of the research institute responsible for brain cloning and AI technology development, as well as overseeing Jeong-i's brain cloning and combat performance testing. Additionally, Ryu Kyung-soo plays Sang-hoon, the head of the research institute who must succeed in the brain cloning experiment at all costs.
