About this audiobook
A sharp sci-fi short story of guilt, love, and defiance. The Center Complex, a gleaming haven of the privileged elite, tosses scraps to the wretches scraping by in the city’s decaying slums. When sixteen-year-old scavenger Kai breaches its walls during a riot, chasing wealth, he faces a choice that could shatter the divide, driven by a secret that unveils a plot twist you won’t see coming.
