In a near-future society governed by The Ledger, every citizen's life is scored, measured, and monitored. Opportunities, privileges, even survival depend on a single number-but the system is neither fair nor forgiving.
Elias, a mid-level Registrar, enforces the rules while quietly bending them to protect himself. Marin, a low-score citizen, navigates a labyrinth of loopholes, risking everything for survival. Tobias, an idealistic outsider, challenges The Ledger-but each act of rebellion triggers consequences that ripple farther than he imagines.
No one is entirely good. No one is entirely safe. Loyalties fracture, friendships betray, and the smallest choice can ignite tragedy. Secondary characters rise and fall unpredictably, making the world feel alive, dangerous, and heartbreakingly human.
This is a story of power, consequence, and moral compromise, disguised as a world both familiar and alien. Laugh with them, cry with them, and witness a society that rewards cunning and punishes innocence-where survival costs everything.
