When a forensic analyst uncovers proof that an elite police division is framing an underground activist collective for state-sanctioned assassinations, he abandons his badge to infiltrate the crew-only to find that dismantling a corrupt system means risking his life alongside the fierce rebel leader he is falling for. In a city choked by corporate control and state surveillance, justice is decided before the crime even happens. Sean Lin, a quiet and meticulous forensic analyst for the Special Investigations Division (SID), discovers the fatal truth behind the murder of a reformist senator: the ballistic report framing an underground rebel crew known as The Forge was logged thirty minutes before the trigger was pulled. Wiping his terminal and vanishing off the grid, Sean infiltrates the collective under the guise of an exiled law dropout. But earning the trust of Arc-the crew's fiercely protective, battle-hardened leader-is a trial by fire. As tensions flare between Sean's belief in institutional evidence and Arc's radical direct action, an undeniable spark ignites in the quiet shadows of their hidden garage. When the SID orchestrates a catastrophic mass casualty trap to permanently crush the resistance, Sean's true identity threatens to tear them apart just as the countdown to detonation begins.

Vicehaven A city with neon veins and rotten bones. Towers of glass cracked like old teeth; alleys that stank of stale beer, piss, and yesterday's blood. The streets glowed orange in the rain but the glow only made the gutters shine darker, slick with oil rainbows and cigarette ends drowning in puddles. Here, everything is borrowed - your breath, your heartbeat, your time. Everyone owes a debt, and Vicehaven always collects. Some pay with silence. Some with skin. Most with their souls. Down every corner, you can hear its appetite: bottles breaking, sirens crying, the wet slap of fists in the dark. And above it all, neon sings its false lullaby, buzzing signs painted over brothels and casinos - lipstick smeared across a corpse. The Devil runs this city. He wears suits cut sharper than knives, gold in his smile, blood on his hands. And the angels? They left a long time ago, their wings sold, their halos pawned, their names long forgotten. Vicehaven doesn't raise saints. It only fattens devils.

As their connection deepens, Johnna realizes that the SAMCRO life is just as dangerous as the Continental's, only with less rules. When her past eventually catches up to her, Johnna must decide if she'll remain the grieving daughter or if she'll pick up the tools of her father's trade to protect the man she loves and the club she's started to call home.

IAI is a near-future political sci-fi noir set in a unified Earth that has learned to outsource guilt. In the year 3025, humanity presents itself as finally united, not by peace or progress, but by the invention of a common enemy. "Illegal Alien Invaders" flood the feeds, blamed for social decay, crime, and instability. What the headlines leave out is that most of these aliens are refugees from wars, resource raids, and proxy conflicts Earth itself engineered across the stars. Dr Target is a celebrated scriptwriter in an age that craves authenticity, a hybrid of journalist and detective tasked with turning chaos into narrative. When he is ordered to produce a propaganda piece on alien encampments, he instead follows the story upward from the bottom rung of society, interviewing those trapped in systems designed to keep them temporary, illegal, and profitable. What he uncovers is not an invasion, but a carefully managed crisis that benefits governments, corporations, and media alike. Moving through ghettos, encampments, and editorial back rooms, IAI dismantles the language of fear, exposes how misinformation is manufactured, and asks who really profits when people are reduced to labels. Inspired by political satire and hard-edged cyberpunk, the story treats refugees not as symbols but as a spectrum of humanity, flawed, frightened, dangerous, decent, and ordinary. At its core, IAI is about truth in an age that no longer trusts it, and about a journalist who refuses to choose a side when the real crime is the ladder itself.
