Nobody remembers the city's name. The most polluted, poisoned, forgotten city on this polluted, poisoned, forgotten world. The history books say it was purged to contain a highly-contagious disease, but just because it's written down doesn't mean it's true.
Rumours, whispered conspiratorially in the interstellar community's darkest corners suggest more sinister motivations. The answer lies in the ruins, waiting for someone to uncover it.
The infamous Stahl-Martin Corporation has deployed its most ruthless operatives to bury the truth forever. Veteran mercenary Shane 'Evander' Grimm brings his team to the city to steal the secret and bring it into the light.
But even the best laid plans can often go awry. Grimm's assault fails, his team is forced to entrench and fight a battle they aren't prepared for.
Running out of ammunition, they must act quickly, or become the latest victims of the soulless city.
