Ep 13. Jupiter Jazz pt.2

Spike, the skilled bounty hunter, is on a hunt for a dangerous criminal named Vincent, a man with the lethal skills to take on the whole city's police force and win. Meanwhile, Faye, a woman with a past she can't remember, is on the hunt for her own answers as she tries to unlock the mysteries of her forgotten life. But their paths converge when they both end up on the same planet, Jupiter, chasing after the same man. In Jupiter Jazz pt.2, the story continues where it left off in the previous episode, with Spike and his allies still hot on Vincent's trail.

As Spike and Faye dig deeper into the mystery of Vincent's past and his motives, they begin to uncover the truth about their own lives as well.
