Synopsis
In the subterranean world of mass transit there are two, separate, yet equally marginalized groups: the riders who use public transportation and the city officials who routinely persecute them. There are stories from the mass transit counterintelligence until InLine whose primary purpose is to keep the masses who use the ALACARTA (Always Lovely Atlantis City Area Rapid Transit Authority) in line. Led by Inspector Romney Miller, InLine investigates any problem that interrupts the flow of commuters. Miller relies heavily on his team: Shade, a master of disguise, and Chu-Chew, a borderline video surveillance addict. As their caseload increases, InLine must battle the serial anarchist known as Red Ass, (his tag is at the right) but their work is made even more difficult by the ALACARTA bureaucracy, which serves not the public, but their own secret agendas. When the city becomes paralyzed with a transportation crisis, where will Inspector Miller place his allegiance?
