In a rain-soaked cyberpunk San Francisco, Jax is a nobody — a crippled ex-cop scraping by as a courier to survive. All that changes when a routine delivery drags him into Apex Corporation's secret gene laboratory. Gravely wounded, he is activated by the "Hunter System" — an ancient neurotech that trades years of his life for supernatural power. Now he is Apex's most wanted man.
With a killer who owes him a blood debt, a hacker who is his last friend, and a scarred warrior hunting his wife's ghost, Jax must burn through his ever-shrinking lifespan to destroy the corporation that owns the city. But the deeper he digs, the more he uncovers: the system wasn't stolen — it was waiting for him. The virus isn't just a weapon — it's a distributed network with six backup nodes across the globe. The girl in the glass tank? She's been watching him all along.
When Jax finally reaches the mainframe, he learns the truth: destroying Apex was never the endgame. The system's heartbeat is spreading. Six cities. Six nodes. Six eyes beginning to open. Some ghosts don't die. They just reload.
