Ace has spent her entire life hiding who she is, from stealing from the rich to concealing her true self in an underwater prison city. Her decision to destroy Alpha forces her into the light, revealing her secrets to new allies.

Meanwhile, Maketes, known for his humor and violence, finds a kindred spirit in a human he communicates with through droids.

When he discovers this human in the prison city, he encounters a group with sinister intentions and a woman who captivates his soul.

Together, they journey through the forgotten city of Gamma, searching for a key that could change their world. As they grow closer, they realize that hiding has kept them from experiencing the greatest part of life: love.

⚠️ Content note: Includes themes of cannibalism (on-page, not by main characters), violence and gore, bullying (remembered), and non-explicit torture.
