In the rain-drenched Los Angeles of 2233, Shayan “Shy” Soraya lives under the shadow of a legend—because he’s a clone of one. Although the world envies his status as a “nepo baby,” Shy feels suffocated by the life that’s been scripted for him. Yet the spotlight only grows harsher when a viral video captures him fending off armed kidnappers.

Hailed as a hero by the city’s elite, Shy breaks his talent agency’s strict rules and befriends Agustín—a teen from the slums, home to the city’s oppressed and largely neurodivergent working class. Their shared determination to uncover who orchestrated the attack pulls them into a conspiracy more dangerous than either could have imagined.

As Shy’s bond with Agustín deepens, unsettling parallels between their lives begin to emerge. Could Shy also be neurodivergent—something Hollywood would never allow? Wrestling with his identity, he realizes the secret he has buried may have already put him in far greater peril than he ever knew.

With time running out, Shy and Agustín must expose the truth before the system swallows them both.

A neuropunk thriller about stardom, identity, and the cost of becoming who you truly are.
