In the rain-slicked, neon-drenched canyons of Neo-Veridia, a city where corporate titans cast long shadows and privacy is a ghost of the past, jaded private investigator Jack "Razor" Riley takes on a case that promises to be just another paycheck. Dr. Aris Thorne, a brilliant but reclusive bio-engineer from the monolithic OmniCorp, has vanished. As Riley plunges into the city's treacherous underbelly, from the grimy depths of the Undercroft to the sterile, sky-high laboratories of the elite, he uncovers a conspiracy far more intricate and terrifying than he imagined. The missing scientist's groundbreaking research, whispered to touch the very fabric of reality, seems to be the key. Riley finds himself entangled with Seraphina Vance, an enigmatic data broker whose allure is as dangerous as her secrets, and navigating the compromised loyalties of Jax, his former informant now embedded within the city's oppressive Enforcers.As the investigation deepens, the lines between the tangible and the spectral begin to blur. Riley, haunted by his own past traumas, must confront the chilling possibility that Thorne's disappearance is linked to forces that defy logical explanation. Battling corrupt corporations, a shadowy antagonist known only as "The Architect," and the growing suspicion that his own sanity is unraveling, Riley’s quest for a missing person becomes a desperate fight for truth in a world where reality itself is a malleable construct. He must unravel the enigma of Thorne before Neo-Veridia's hidden echoes consume him, forcing him to question everything he thought he knew about life, death, and the nature of existence.
