His emotions are dead. In life, he's the son of a CEO, socially ostracized and addicted to self-destruction. In his head, there's a vibrant city, where he exists as someone worth saving. He meets a girl at a nightclub and somehow she's been in his mind palace too. But he doesn't know her secrets...and she doesn't know the extent of his sociopath tendencies. It all comes back to his city, but something is darkly wrong in the reality he's created.
His brother is a kpop idol, too cynical for his profession but unconventionally talented. He knows something of the cracks in their city, and he knows a solution. But he has dreams too, and they do not involve the happiness of anyone but himself.
