The "punk" part isn't ''quite'' as traditional, given that Eve and Roarke are a police detective and megacorp owner, respectively, occupations which are often portrayed as the ''villains'' in other cyberpunk settings. That being said, however, there ''are'' CorruptCops and [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Corrupt Corporate Executives]] depicted in the series frequently enough to quite heavily imply that Roarke, Eve, and their immediate associates are WhiteSheep in an otherwise rather dystopian world.

Roarke is constantly working on various projects and business deals, despite being more than wealthy enough to be as idle as he'd like to be. Eve also counts after marrying Roarke, though she doesn't really think of his assets as being in any way related to her.
