Paradigm City is the city of amnesia ? ? 40 years ago, something happened that wiped out the memories of the residents, forcing them to recreate their culture from scattered fragments. In this world only 40 years old, Roger Smith is a "negotiator" ?? a go-between for police, citizens and criminals in high-risk diplomatic situations. But something else survives from the forgotten past. They are the MegaDeus ?? giant robots created by the city's former inhabitants, or perhaps by the forgetful citizens themselves. When crime and madness strike, Roger Smith brings the guilty to justice with the giant robot called The Big O. In this issue, a sad and mysterious woman attracts Roger Smith's eye, but she has no time for him ? no time left for anyone. She and her partner are involved in a robbery plot that has been hatched by an underworld kingpin named Beck Gold! Will The Big O be able to stop the master criminal's plan?

Plotting to get the Big O out of the way once and for all, Beck enlists the help of a mad scientist who is an expert with the smallest things in Paradigm City ?? the lightning bugs that thrive in Paradigm's night air. Using all his and the scientist's genius, Beck turns these tiny insects into a weapon that is the equal of a 20-story robot! But an innocent young girl with memories of a better time may be a victim of the struggle!
