Rin Sullivan is a rising star in Sakura City’s Major Crimes Unit—a position he’s fought tooth and nail to earn. But landing his dream job is only the beginning. If he wants to follow in the footsteps of his idol, the righteous and unshakable Captain Yoshida, Rin knows he can’t afford to coast. He has to prove himself—case by case, crime by crime.
Used to relying only on himself, Rin is quickly thrust into the darker corners of the city’s underbelly. Beneath the neon glow and polished tech lies something far more sinister than murderers and thieves—something ancient, corrupt, and crawling beneath the surface of this futuristic metropolis.
As Rin is pulled deeper into a web of secrets and systemic rot, a mysterious consultant named Hina appears—poised, brilliant, and hiding more than her refined appearance suggests. She knows more about the city’s hidden horrors than she lets on, and Rin soon finds himself caught between duty, truth, and the ghosts of a past he thought he’d left behind.
Can he rise above his family’s elitist legacy and forge a career he can be proud of? Or will the city’s filth drag him down, just like it did his late mother? In a world where trust is fragile and monsters wear human faces, Rin must decide who to lean on—and what he’s willing to sacrifice.
