Where the borders of four nations in South America meet, a lawless black market thrived for generations before the Cull Spores rained down a psychosis causing plague.

Soon after, violent mayhem collapsed the social order.

An international emergency declared, the nations are forced to relinquish their sovereignty to the Salvage - a technocratic elite.

In the years that follow, the emergency does not cease. Those with the resources to escape do so at the cost of their wealth being left behind.

Tasìa del Alma-Gris lives the high life as a raider who uses her cat burglar skills to breach the automated security of these abandoned mansions.

That is, until the day, betrayed by accomplices, she is caught by bounty hunters and sent to Ward Nueve, a worker's collective inside a hospital for inmates.

Fastidiously apolitical, Tasìa kept out of the affairs of others but now to survive she can't avoid becoming entangled in the malignant designs of the Salvage.

And discovers along the way, those plans had always included her.
