In a war-ravaged world of shifting alliances, mercenary Duncan hunts society's deadliest threats with brutal resolve. He serves no side, but with each kill, the darkness within him grows, pulling him further from his own humanity.

Elisa, an aspiring politician, wants peace, but her past drags her into conflict with the insurgent Night Hawks and her own inner demons threaten to consume her. As the civil war threatens to consume everything, she can only hope the warring factions don't destroy each other first. When she crosses paths with Duncan, their unexpected alliance forces them to navigate the chaos together.

Caught between duty and survival, they must confront the darkness within themselves – and decide if they'll rise as heroes or fall as something darker.
