Where dreams come at a price, and every step is a fight for freedom.

In the heart of Krevax, a subterranean metropolis steeped in corruption and despair, Vice Detective Charlie Blackwell navigates the murky depths of a city that thrives on deception and decay. In a world where community and family are distant memories, and advertisements cling to every surface, Blackwell is a mere cog in a soulless machine.

But when a powerful politician extends an unexpected lifeline, Blackwell seizes the chance to escape the suffocating grip of Krevax. Tasked with infiltrating the criminal underbelly to uncover the source of a mysterious and potent drug known as nostaliem, Blackwell embarks on a perilous journey. This elusive substance promises a life in a dream, but its connection to a string of high-profile deaths poses a dark and dangerous puzzle.

Teaming up with Tinik, a resilient member of the Zorax gang with her own motives, Blackwell finds himself entangled with a motley crew of companions. Each harbors secrets and suspicions, as they delve into the shadows of Krevax's history and its omnipotent rulers.

As Blackwell and Tinik close in on the truth behind nostaliem, they unravel the city's sinister past, exposing a web of power and manipulation. Together, they confront the oppressive system that has kept the citizens of Krevax in perpetual darkness. In this gripping tale of intrigue, betrayal, and redemption, Blackwell must navigate a treacherous path to not only survive but to uncover the secrets that could reshape the destiny of the last remaining city on Earth.
