In the sprawling, rain-soaked metropolis of New Crescent City, corruption isn't just rampant-it's institutionalized. Beneath the neon lights and crumbling facades, an invisible war is being waged.
Elena Rios, a former private investigator turned shadow-wielding vigilante, has made it her mission to dismantle the city's darkest secret: a human trafficking ring run by a ruthless mastermind known only as The Broker. Armed with her shadow-infused dagger, martial arts prowess, and cutting-edge gadgets, Elena becomes Silhouette, a ghost haunting the city's underworld.
But The Broker isn't an ordinary criminal. Vincent Malloy, a charismatic businessman, rules the city's criminal empire with manipulation, fear, and precision. From his penthouse fortress, he pulls the strings of chaos, believing that control over corruption is the only way to maintain order.
As Elena delves deeper into the labyrinth of lies, betrayal, and bloodshed, she faces mercenaries, assassins, and her own haunted past. Each step brings her closer to uncovering the truth about The Broker's empire-but also closer to her breaking point.
In a deadly game of shadows and deception, can Elena outsmart a mastermind who always seems one step ahead? Or will the price of justice be her very soul?
