In the bustling, neon-filled metropolis of Solaris, five lives unknowingly intersect amid a labyrinth of secrets and power plays. Eliot, a reclusive taxi driver, hears too much but says too little, collecting fragments of a conspiracy that threatens to unravel the city's very fabric. Mila, a tech-savvy consultant, stumbles upon an insidious financial web tied to a mysterious figure known as Loom, whose existence seems to be more than just a myth. Meanwhile, Haruto, a former detective, becomes obsessed with a series of disappearances, each case leading him further into a disturbing reality he can barely comprehend.
As these threads begin to intertwine, a charismatic manipulator named Caius watches from the shadows, subtly influencing their paths for reasons known only to him. In this first volume, loyalties are tested, trust is betrayed, and the true scale of the forces at play begins to emerge. Solaris is a city where every flicker of light conceals a darkness waiting to consume those who get too close.
The game has only just begun, and not everyone will survive its opening moves.
