Synopsis

A shattered detective. A city ruled by machines. An identity stolen by corporate greed. In this gritty cyberpunk noir, one man's search for truth becomes a desperate fight for survival in the neon-drenched streets of New Seattle.

In 2436, Detective Henson Taylor's world crumbles when he discovers he's a clone, created by the powerful Sethren Corporation. Now, haunted by memories that aren't his own and hunted by deadly androids, Taylor must uncover the truth about his identity while navigating a city where technology blurs the line between human and machine.

This dark psychological thriller combines classic noir elements with cutting-edge cyberpunk, exploring themes of identity, trauma, and redemption. Through Taylor's eyes, readers witness the aftermath of a devastating war, where corporate control and artificial intelligence have transformed society into a dangerous playground of power and corruption.

With time running out and enemies closing in, Taylor faces an impossible choice: embrace the artificial memories that haunt him or lose himself completely to the machines that want him dead. As he races through the neon-lit streets of New Seattle, he must confront not only his own demons but also the dark forces that threaten to destroy everything he holds dear.
