A masked bicycle vigilante has emerged in New York City.

When a series of cable slashings and other acts of sabotage endanger innocent cyclists and undermine street safety across the city, the mysterious rider becomes the prime suspect in a massive police manhunt. Armed with practiced skill and an unparalleled command of the bicycle, he must scour the city in search of the true culprit while struggling to avoid police capture and maintain order on the street. What he uncovers puts his methods and motivations to the ultimate test as a dark revelation strikes at the core of his mission. In the face of almost certain defeat, he must confront his past and rise from the shadows to reclaim the streets and empower change.
