WORLD
It’s the 21st century. An alternate world where emotions give some people superpowers. All the resources of a rich trading state are controlled by organized crime groups. The gangsters are members of parliament, they own corporations, courts, police and military. Regular people are deprived of their basic freedoms and resources. Those who do not cooperate with the gangsters, are exploited by them. This exhausted society gives life to a terrorist group that wants a power shift. And all of this is happening at the brink of a large-scale gang war.
