In a world of levitating cities and fractured clusters, one man's search for the truth could shatter the foundations of society.
Jason "Jay" Loveloch, a battle-hardened contractor, lives in the shadows of Plant City, part of a triad of floating metropolises tethered together by electromagnetic fields. When he's hired to find a missing geneticist, his investigation spirals into a web of gruesome murders and chilling secrets hidden within the corporate powerhouses of the city clusters.
As Jay follows the bloody trail, he uncovers whispers of forbidden experiments and a connection that stretches across the globe's four city clusters. Forced to descend to the Earth's surface-a place abandoned and shrouded in mystery-Jay confronts truths long buried by those who control the skies. With the clock ticking, he must navigate dangerous alliances, relentless enemies, and his own haunted past to unravel a conspiracy that threatens not just the clusters, but humanity itself.
