The game is set in the year 2415, after a biological disease has wiped out Earth's population except for its one walled, protected city-state, Bregna. The city is ruled by the congress of scientists who discovered the vaccine for the disease. Æon Flux, the protagonist and top operative in the underground "Monican" rebellion, is sent on a mission to kill one of Bregna's most influential government leaders, Trevor Goodchild. Following a series of self-discoveries and revelations, Æon uncovers a world of secrets which makes her doubt her mission and question everything she thought she knew.

The game's storyline attempts to bridge the gap between the TV series and the film and explain various discrepancies, such as the appearance of the jungle outside Bregna and the differences between the movie and TV series versions of Trevor Goodchild. However, much of the game's visuals and tone skew far more dramatically toward that of the film, supplemented by the fact that the look of Æon in the game is based almost entirely on Charlize Theron's film version, and the character is also voiced by her.
