In the sprawling, hyper-monetized city of Kaeloria, where every aspect of life is priced and justice is a commodity, Rayan Kade, a demoted forensic genius, operates as the anonymous vigilante Veritas. Driven by a personal vendetta against a corrupt system that buried the truth about his family, Rayan uses his unparalleled skills to expose corporate malfeasance and bring "poetic justice" to the untouchable elite.
But Veritas's success inadvertently awakens DEUS, a sinister, decades-old program designed to achieve absolute societal control. Rayan discovers DEUS's chilling secret: it uses brainwashed orphans, including the formidable Chief Commander Thorne, to infiltrate and control Kaeloria's highest offices. As Rayan races to expose DEUS, a counterfeit Veritas emerges, committing brutal acts of terror that twist the vigilante's symbol into one of fear, paving the way for Thorne's declaration of martial law.
With Kaeloria on the brink of becoming a city of compliant automatons, Rayan makes a desperate, public broadcast, temporarily shattering DEUS's control and forcing Thorne to confront his suppressed memories. This act of defiance exposes Rayan as Veritas and draws the full wrath of the Directorate, the shadowy architects of DEUS. Now, a hunted ghost in a city falling into a deep, forced slumber, Rayan must find a way to dismantle DEUS from its very core, before Kaeloria loses its soul forever.
