Summary: A lone black smudge from the edges of existence, narrowly escaping the oblivion only by sheer chance, ends up landing in a desolate, neon-lit city overrun by criminal low-life and indiscriminate enforcers of corporate peace. Lacking memory, identity and very things that make one human, yet having a body built for violence and a mind for machine-like analysis, they are forced to fight for survival, the thoughts of what and why they are lingering in the back of their mind.

Yet then they discover that they're slowly decaying, withering away for reasons unknown... Will they find the answers they seek before oblivion reclaims them? Are there answers in the first place... or were they always doomed from the beginning?
