Šestnásťročnú Cinder považuje väčšina ľudskej spoločnosti za nepodarené skĺbenie techniky a človeka a jej macocha za neúnosné bremeno. Byť kyborg však má aj svoje výhody – mozgové rozhranie poskytuje Cinder nevšednú schopnosť opravovať veci (robotov, vznášadlá, vlastné nefunkčné časti tela), vďaka čomu sa stane najvychýrenejšou opravárkou v Novom Pekingu. Práve táto reputácia privedie k jej stánku princa Kaia, ktorý potrebuje pred výročným bálom opraviť pokazeného androida. Princ opravu žartovne nazve otázkou národnej bezpečnosti, ale Cinder ho podozrieva, že celá záležitosť je v skutočnosti oveľa vážnejšia, ako je princ ochotný priznať. Cinder túži urobiť na princa čo najlepší dojem, ale so všetkými plánmi je koniec, keď sa jej mladšia nevlastná sestra a jediná ľudská priateľka nakazí smrteľnou epidémiou, ktorá sužuje Zem už celé desaťročie. Macocha obviní z dcérinej choroby Cinder a ponúkne jej telo výskumnému tímu nákazy, čo je „pocta“, ktorú zatiaľ nikto neprežil. Nepotrvá dlho, kým lekári zistia, že ich nový pokusný králik je zvláštny. Má niečo, kvôli čomu sú podaktorí ľudia ochotní aj zabíjať...
