At that time Daria's father, who worked as a police officer, was investigating a drug trafficking case. The criminals tried to blackmail him by kidnapping his daughter. Daria's father caved under pressure and left his job at the police station, and Daria’s mother died of grief. Since that time Daria can’t tolerate violence and unfairness. So now she’s on the warpath to fight crime and bring justice to people. And sometimes in order to do that she acts out of line. Daria is known for her vicious and aggressive methods. That’s why she was dubbed "The Furious".

The second part "Rite of passage" begins with a string of murders committed by a serial killer. The third part "Chimeras" tells the story of preparations for the Governor's elections.
