In order to keep this world intact there can't be anything that can disturb it, that means there's a catch, if there's a hint of disturbance that person is wiped out. Marks takes it upon himself to stop this Utopia system and make the world how it ought it be, with warts and all. Along this journey he teams up with a Fixer, those that monitor disturbances in Utopia and if need be wipe them out...to battle the other Fixers and try to make the world a better but chaotic place to live.
