Eva, a Sister of Our Lady, tied to a family debt to serve the Church, finds herself used as a pawn in a game between men of influence. The men in this world seem to have little care for her vows or the lives of the people under their control, however there may be a larger game afoot, one that Eva will have to play to find the truth.
As the city spirals into chaos, the lives of five unsuspecting characters become increasingly intertwined. Their individual journeys of faith, power, love, and addiction eventually converge in a climactic showdown. In the midst of this dystopian nightmare, they must confront their own demons and decide whether redemption or destruction awaits them. The fate of the city hangs in the balance, and the choices they make will determine its ultimate destiny.
