In 22nd-century New York, survival is a hustle and secrets refuse to stay buried. Tony, once a corporate operative, knows betrayal firsthand — abandoned by the elites who molded him, he's been exiled to the Blast, a low-income, no-exit wasteland in the heart of New Brooklyn. Now he scrapes by in a world of gang-controlled streets and Dust-fueled powers, finding reluctant allies among the outcasts he once scorned. Addie, a fiercely independent journalist, is determined to expose the district's corruption and the ruthless toll it takes on its people. But as she digs deeper, her quest for justice drags her into the city's darkest shadows — and into the grip of Dust. Together, Tony and Addie are an unlikely team in a world where loyalty is rare and survival comes at a price.
