In a dystopic, future crime-ridden Detroit controlled by a powerful corporation, a terminally wounded cop returns to the force as a company-owned cyborg with submerged memories haunting him.

Given what Detroit's been through over the past few decades, they could've filmed it at anytime from 1980 to today and they wouldn't've needed any SFX (i.e. Special Effects).
