About

Michael Jenkins' life shattered the day his teenage son, Malachi, was killed in a way that defied logic or mercy. Refusing to accept the official narrative, Michael spends months hunting for the truth on his own. A solitary pursuit that reveals the Department of Transition-a shadow agency operating behind the beige walls of a mundane municipal office. The Department doesn't murder, they say; they "prune." They stage accidents, rewrite inspection reports, and alter local databases to eliminate specific people in service of chilling calculus meant to save others from a force they refer to as The Ethereal-the ancient, unnatural being orchestrating these deaths from the dark.

Michael sets out to fight against the injustices of this cosmic bureaucracy and eventually discovers an underground resistance group already aware of the truth. Guided by the group's leader Mara, Michael joins their desperate, coordinated efforts to expose the conspiracy in the hopes of eventually stopping the Department of Transition and The Ethereal.

Pushed to his absolute limits, Michael is forced to navigate the ethical void between survival and vengeance, and decide how far he will go when face to face with seemingly insurmountable opposition.
