In a world where beasts have risen beyond their primal origins, civilization thrives—but the wild still lingers beneath the surface. Detective Rex "Steel" Calder and his partner Duke "Stone" Marlowe walk the thin blue line in Athelun, a city of progress built on ambition and old instincts. But when a new drug known as Wyldfire hits the streets, the two detectives are thrust int oa case that threatens to consume the city. Worse still, the drug is laced with Aether, the raw spiritual force that connects all living things, twisting it's victims into mindless, violent husks of their former selves. As Rex and Duke hunt for the source, they uncover whispers of the criminal syndicate responsible and the ruthless power broker who has embedded themself within the city. With every step closer to the truth, the corruption within the Athelun Police Department becomes harder to ignore.  When the case becomes personal, Rex and Duke are forced to confront just how deep the rot goes. With their families in danger and the city on the brink of a new power shift, the two detectives must put aside their differences and face the question of how much they are willing to sacrifice to stop what has been set in motion. Can they stop the syndicate can embed itself into the positions of power and influence that would allow it to freely distribute wyldfire? Or have things moved to far too fast for the detectives to stop?
