Competition is now a lie. Corporate policy, the new rule of law. With power, even the greatest falsehood can be made true. To most, The Company is the only truth. After The Resolution, many see it as their savior. But The Company consumes and restricts. Its AI systems eviscerate access to water and electricity. This plunges the new world into two distinct tiers. The loyal, who are quenched and surrounded by light. And the rest, born thirsty, into constant darkness. The Company has resources beyond comprehension. The Company must always acquire more. Four lives, one system. A politician who tries to protect what matters most, regardless of the cost. A counselor who tries to help those that need it the most, against any better judgment. An enforcer who tries to uphold the laws of this land, yet struggles to uphold himself. And a shopkeeper who tries to do right not only by others, but for everything he's done.
