DETROIT TONTINE
When the city deletes your partner, you're the next entry on the list.
On West Vernor Highway, Luis didn't just disappear-he was unindexed. His phone number is a dead end, his messages are gone, and the neighborhood has forgotten his face. This is the Tontine at work: an invisible "Neighborhood Operating System" that reallocates people like lines of code.
Adrian Cruz is a glitch in their clean data. Driven by adrenaline he fights to stay visible in a world being rewritten in real-time. He tattoos his name over his heart and floods the streets with physical proof of his life, forcing the system into a high-stakes lag.
But the Auditor is watching. As the "Override Layer" freezes the city and closes the perimeter, Adrian must break the logic of the machine before his own name is deleted from the ledger.
You can't clean me without making a mess."
