The world ended in 2042. The corporations divided what was left. Then a four-piece rock band stole it back.
In the smoldering ruins of the former United States, six mega-corps carved up the bones of civilization. By 2055, only one remained - Apex - and its weapon was not bullets but biology. A neural implant wired into the base of every citizen's skull, rewriting loyalty, hardwiring obedience, turning the human race into a docile, monetized herd.
The Boomtown Renegades didn't sign up to be revolutionaries. They were a band - Connor on guitar, Sabine on synth, Kyoden on drums, and a brilliant runaway bassist named Liora who was never supposed to survive. They played dirty rock and dirtier truth, and they were the last unfiltered voice on the grid.
When a hijacked broadcast at their homecoming gig in Neo-Dakota turns 80,000 fans into a riot, Apex sends shock troops to silence them forever. What follows is a 543-page descent through neon-soaked alleys, corpo death squads, gene-tank assassins, biker syndicates, and one final concert in a Deadwood saloon - a concert with a hidden payload designed to crack Apex's neural network wide open and free a billion minds in eleven seconds.
If they survive the song.
