Rune Balot and her shapeshifting partner Oeufcoque are on the run from Boiled, the assassin who nearly killed her once already and won't stop until he finishes the job. Dr. Easter pulls them out of danger and into Paradise, a research facility holding secrets about Mardock City's past and the Scramble 09 program that remade Balot's body. The second film in the Mardock Scramble trilogy follows her through the facility and into a casino, where the evidence she needs has to be won at the gaming tables and she must decide what she's willing to become to survive.
