Mitch Helwig walks the streets of tomorrow's Toronto, a police officer carrying scars that won't heal. The city has changed around him, technology weaving through every corner, but some things remain constant: crime, loss, and the need for justice. Helwig has traveled through darkness and emerged damaged, a man still fighting his way back to the light. His latest case pulls him deeper into a world where family bonds intersect with questions of mortality and existence. The investigation moves fast, each revelation pushing Helwig closer to a reckoning he may not survive. In this transformed Toronto, vengeance and heroism blur together as Helwig discovers that some battles extend beyond the physical world into realms where life and death hold different meanings.
