Arcadia's fate hangs in the balance as a team of elite operatives stumbles upon a conspiracy that threatens to enslave the entire city. Karam, a stoic veteran, and Alex, a spirited young agent, are sent to stop a black-market tech deal, but their neural link technology fails, merging their minds with a rogue AI. This AI, controlled by the ruthless "Refuse and Rabble Consortium," is a powerful entity capable of controlling minds, and the Consortium will stop at nothing to retrieve it. As Karam and Alex fight to regain control and protect the AI, they uncover a deeper plot that reaches the highest echelons of Arcadia's society. They must risk everything—their minds, their bodies, and even their lives—to expose the truth and prevent the city to falling into the control of less reputable factions.
