Full Description

In a world where truth hides beneath layers of neon and neural code, a forgotten technology called Afterlight waits to be awakened.

When reclusive engineer Cassian discovers a digital ghost that might be his presumed-dead sister, he's drawn into a desperate race against the Lumos Corporation's expanding control. Meanwhile, revolutionary Kaela broadcasts dangerous ideas across the city's feeds, while deep in the undercity, Sola tends to hybrid plants that seem to whisper secrets through their roots.

As their paths converge, they uncover the true nature of Project Afterlight—not a weapon, but a bridge between consciousness and reality itself. With the help of a conflicted Lumos executive and a pair of young hackers with everything to lose, they prepare to unleash a signal that will either liberate humanity from digital chains or plunge them into unprecedented chaos.

In the struggle that follows, the line between technology and nature blurs, memories become contagion, and the very foundation of identity fractures. When the signal finally broadcasts, it carries not just revolution but resurrection—a new kind of existence where consciousness flows between mind, machine, and living earth.
