In a metropolis of six hundred million souls where the sky turns to blood, five friends face a nightmare that defies logic. A second blinding flash of light has struck, and this time their leader and a young orphan girl have vanished into the chaos. The group is fractured, torn between searching for their missing brother and fulfilling the demands of kidnappers who hold another of their own captive in a lightless room. The second oldest member must now step out of the shadows, using his uncanny resemblance to their leader to navigate a world of shifting allegiances. A young man with a voice that mimics their lost brother becomes a dangerous asset in a game of deception. As they prepare for a high stakes exchange under the cover of a long night, ordinary objects like a lost wallet and a secret message hidden in a pen become the only anchors to a reality that is rapidly unraveling. In this strange new world, the metallic bones of an ancient ship groan beneath the streets, and every choice could be their last.
