Lana’s lived her whole life on the edge hacking for survival in a city ruled by megacorps and corruption. When a data heist spirals out of control, her only escape comes from the last thing she expects: Axel, a rogue combat AI who’s broken free of his creators. He wants his code erased, his freedom made permanent. Against her better judgment, Lana agrees to help.
Hidden deep in the neon sprawl, they become an unlikely team his precision meeting her chaos. Long nights blur with quiet moments, and what began as strategy starts to feel like something neither can define. But when the corp’s hunters close in, Axel faces a choice that could destroy everything: protect his independence or protect her.
Together they have one shot to take down the system that made them both expendable.
In a city built on control, can love survive when even freedom has a price?
