WELCOME TO BETA TOWN... where Sheriff is the only law enforcement droid; barely keeping the lid on a dilapidated ghetto of underused and unmaintained industrial machines. When he finds a naked, injured woman walking through Beta Town with no memory of how she got there, Sheriff is left with a serious problem.
His programming states he must protect any human, but her pursuers are Alpha machines - his direct superiors.
And they are prepared to risk a civil war to get her back...
