In the future, androids are illegal to own and operate. But a special division unit of the police force was granted permission to build one to be the partner of one of their detectives, Daisuke Aurora. J, also known as the "Heat Guy" is an elite android programed to fight against crime and aid Daisuke in his cases. J was built to resemble a human, so as not to cause alarm to the general public. Together, Daisuke and J work to prevent unwanted crime. They also work to keep the city safe from the twisted mind of Clair Leonelli. Clair inherited a mafia branch from his late father, and runs it like a madman. Clair doesn't like the idea that Daisuke's partner is an android, so he sends assassins out to have J destroyed. One such assassin is Boma, the escaped prisoner. Between battling Clair, keeping crime down, having J repaired, and making amends with his brother, Daisuke sure has alot on his plate.
