In the neon-drenched streets of Neo-Babel, speed is a religion, and Jax is its most devoted sinner.
Jax is the best getaway driver in the underground. He doesn't ask questions, he doesn't miss deadlines, and he never gets caught. But when a ghost from his past blackmails him, Jax is forced to accept a suicide mission: steal an experimental, highly unstable energy core from the hyper-rail-a heavily fortified mag-lev train moving at 400 miles per hour.
To pull off the impossible, Jax needs a crew of the city's most dangerous outcasts.
Enter Sloane. She's an ex-corporate military sniper with cybernetic enhancements, a lethal aim, and a deep, burning hatred for Jax. Forced to work together, the tension between the reckless driver and the cold-blooded assassin is almost as explosive as the tech they are trying to steal.
As the clock ticks down and rival syndicates close in, the crew must survive high-speed chases, rooftop shootouts, and betrayals that cut deeper than chrome. In a city where everyone has a price, Jax and Sloane are about to discover that the only thing more dangerous than the heist... is trusting each other.
Tropes: Cyberpunk Heist, Enemies to Allies (to Lovers?), Found Family, High-Speed Action, Morally Grey Crew.
