Yared's home is Addis Prime, a rundown city full of broken tech and boring rules to live by. His uncle Moti and bionic lioness Besa are his only family. By day he dreams of adventures, and by night he's the thrill-seeking star player of an underground augmented reality game.

When an attack rocks the city, Yared and the Ibis - a game rival turned reluctant ally - must search for answers to his place in an epic galaxy-spinning war.
