In a noir-drenched future, ex–hitman Spike Spiegel hunts bounties across the solar system aboard the rundown ship Bebop, haunted by the woman he lost and the brother who betrayed him. When a four‑hundred‑million woolong bounty appears for his lost love Julia, Spike realizes it is a trap set by his psychopathic rival Vicious. To survive, Spike must unite his dysfunctional crew—ex‑cop Jet, amnesiac hustler Faye, manic hacker Ed, and a data‑dog named Ein—and confront the Red Dragon Syndicate in a bloody reckoning that will decide who controls the underworld.
