Across the sprawling neon streets of a futuristic metropolis, cybernetic enhancement has become humanity's answer to survival. But when modified bodies turn into weapons and chaos erupts through the city, Carl assembles an elite investigation unit called Tacit Blue to hunt down the architects of the uprising: a shadowy criminal collective known as Illum. What begins as a mission to restore order becomes something far more personal. Each operative on the team carries scars from their own past, and confronting Illum forces them to confront themselves. The conspiracy behind the cyborg riots runs deeper than anyone anticipated, pulling Tacit Blue into moral gray zones where the line between justice and vengeance blurs. As bodies pile up and the conspiracy unravels, the team members must decide who they're really fighting for. Survival isn't enough anymore. They need redemption. This is a story about broken people trying to save a broken world, discovering that the toughest battles happen inside their own heads before they ever hit the streets.
