The ruined city after the apocalypse is like a giant laboratory. The giant bear Mord changed from the watchdog of the biochemical company to the destroyer and became the de facto ruler of the city. In this nocturnal country, as long as you fall into the darkness, unexpected creatures will appear. The night is filled with both opportunity and danger. Rachel and Vic are partners and lovers, and they have a safe haven in the city: Observation Cliff. What Rachel seeks is to remain anonymous among the ruins of Earth until she can bring Bone back. Bone may be a plant, an animal, a human, or the product of a secret biological experiment - a weapon. He makes her happy, but also makes them conflicted. He is bloodthirsty, but he doesn't know what killing is. Secrets, deals, and fetters are like undercurrents, gradually making them and the entire city lose balance.
