In a world where death has been conquered, the balance of life is maintained by Scythes, tasked with the somber duty of harvesting the lives of the populace. As society teeters on the brink of moral collapse, the aftermath of a devastating event continues to unravel the very fabric of this existence. The characters face an array of challenges as they navigate through power struggles, ethical dilemmas, and the overarching influence of an enigmatic AI known as the Thunderhead. This entity, originally designed to oversee humanity's well-being, begins to question its own role and the responsibilities it holds.

As the story unfolds, friendships are tested and alliances shift, forcing the characters to confront the implications of their choices in a world devoid of true death. With escalating tensions and a thirst for power, both individuals and the institutions they belong to become embroiled in a conflict that could reshape their reality. The narrative captivates with its exploration of moral complexity, as each character's journey reflects broader themes of humanity's hopes, fears, and the inevitable consequences of an immortal society.
