The world ended, and what replaced it is the Omni-Care sanctioned city—a place that presents itself as utopian and runs with considerable efficiency. Citizens schedule their entire days through mandatory cybernetic implants called ports, installed at birth and administered by the same commercial entities that now govern in place of any state. Crime is nearly nonexistent. Life is convenient. Today you begin a day that starts like all the others and does not end that way, revealing what lives beneath the city's composed surface.
