In the neon-lit streets of the fictional state of Yamakyo, a brutal murder of a corporate heir by a descendant of colonial forced laborers triggers a digital war. As a tech conglomerate manipulates public sentiment to anoint the killer a national hero and vilify the victim, an independent journalist finds her investigation leading her into a labyrinth where every scalpel of truth carves away the comforting myth of innate human goodness.
