The 'plex is Alice's world - concrete, neon-lights, and a place of bloody and brutal conflict.  While the halls of the fancy might be gilt and polite, the streets are raw and untamed, a place of bloody trades and constant conflict.  Alice is a trader and merchant, eking out a living on the edges, barely enough to survive, or to keep her own demons at bay.  And then, she comes into possession of something she shouldn't, something she doesn't want, and finds herself the prey, hunted across the city.  She must fight to survive, using her old skills to kill those that want her dead, in a desperate struggle to survive.
