Static hums through the wire as Chen Vire, street-ghost in the river of neon, stalks a city so high it drowns the stars. The fix is in: tonight’s payload is a corporate dataseed—encrypted, coveted, lethal—offered for a whisper and demanded by hands that never show. The grind is survival: ghosts with eyes in their skin, black market barons, and megacorp hounds sweeping alleyways with chrome claws, all haunting the spaces between light. Chen’s code and conscience, both glitching, are tested as the labyrinth pulses beneath flickering sign-sky and market haze. There’s word of a firewall that doesn’t just burn data, but memories—breaking those who stray too close. When loyalty splinters and the city’s voice murmurs your encoded name, which betrayal will outlast the bite of dawn?
