In a city that claims to know everything, one child with no identity becomes its greatest fear.
It begins on a desolate shore: a boy with hollow eyes, limp hands, and an endless, aimless walk across cold sand. To the city's all-seeing systems, he is nothing. No records. No past. A ghost.
Then more appear. Ghostkids - identical, silent, impossible. And with each one, the city's flawless order begins to crack.
Detective Arthur, days away from becoming a father, is pulled into a case that drags him deep into the dystopian city's buried truths. But when the hunt turns toward his own family, the investigation becomes a race against something far darker than he imagined.
To save his child, Arthur must step into the very shadows he swore to defend the city from. How far can a father go before he loses himself entirely?
