Living on Mars, Deckard is acting as a consultant to a movie crew filming the story of his days as a blade runner. He finds himself drawn into a mission on behalf of the replicants he was once assigned to kill. Meanwhile, the mystery surrounding the beginnings of the Tyrell Corporation is being exposed.
The plot element of a replicant giving birth served as the basis for the 2017 film Blade Runner 2049.[2][circular reporting?]
