Synopsis -
2086: Within the domed city known only as Desolation, art is crime & crime is art, and DCI Dominic Rexford finds himself revolting in the best way he can; educating his fellow dissenters on how to get away with crime.
But when his grand designs threaten repercussions to a child of this society, his crimes cross the point of no return and he dives into the criminal underworld. Will he solve a murder before it happens? Or will his involvement send him spiralling into insanity?
One question remains on his mind though; who will stand in his way? His ex-lover, the drug queen Helena Von Triksenstein, or perhaps off-grid art-criminal Noel Noname? Maybe even Party loyalist Selena "Patsy" Patricks, or the dubious hotelier Mr. Touchshriek?
(Inspired by and based on elements of the concept album "1. Outside" by David Bowie.)

Sofie Black is an investigative journalist whose name is on hit-lists from crime lords, drug cartels, and corrupt organizations. She only goes after the most provocative and dangerous stories, like exposing the illegal tactics of a future Prime Minister. Fear isn't part of her vocabulary, and neither are other emotions. Until she meets Philip, the charming but aloof escort to the rich and powerful. He proves he's more than a handsome face or unwitting informant when he encrypts his seedy secrets in ruthless riddles. In fact, he is the architect of Club Elandra, flipping gender stereotypes and making him the puppet master to an influential female elite. Sofie breaks free from Philip's world of pretense, temptation and denial when a murder rattles his golden cage. As the prime suspect, Philip realizes this isn't a game anymore and that the only person able to help him now is Sofie.
