In a chillingly plausible dystopian New York City of 2022, suffocating overpopulation and environmental decay have driven humanity to a desperate reliance on Soylent Green, a processed food promising sustenance but concealing a horrifying truth. Detective Thorn investigates a seemingly routine murder that unravels a conspiracy reaching the highest echelons of power, exposing a system built on complacency and a monstrous solution to the planet’s dwindling resources.
