Lost Youth. ¡! ❞
Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.
╰┈➤ George Bernard Shaw
Imagine a topsy-turvy world stripped of all it's artistic forms – no vivid art, no melodious music, no dramatic poetry. The abnormal destruction of the city forced the now tiny population into a soundless, emotionless and robotic way of living.
Firstly, by killing its vibrant industry.
Secondly, by taking away their identity.
Too many had to give up on their dream to restore the city. Quinn Russell, Theo's missing sister, being one of them. Like a crumpled piece of paper slowly unfolding, Theo Russell started to think about a set of alien-like people Anna spoke so fondly of. She'd stay up retelling thrilling stories of The Great Gorky – a child of the streets, the greatest mystery to exist in his lifetime, with hands like samurai swords and spray-painted cans for weapons no amount of law enforcement could diminish his impact on their society. Yet, not a single soul has seen him in the flesh, bare face. Or have they?
On a quest to find his big sister, fourteen year old Theo floats through the stagnant place, hating his town and the void that felt eternal. What he didn't expect was to cross paths with vibrant creatures, legendary rebels, a found family─and music?
I guess, rockstars never die.
