Since then, on UTOPIA-758, the command originally entrusted with guiding four clearly distinct research sectors has collapsed. A small group called the OcCulte, supported by its army The Cera-Tristis, imposed a dictatorship rooted in conflict and fear. The Grand Néo, their leader, contributes to a violent and toxic rule, throwing into the Isolarium anyone who might pose a threat to him.
In this prison where inmates are left to fend for themselves, clans emerge and fratricidal struggles break out. A strange figure guides us through the twists and turns of this story: Simia, a remnant of the former governance, trapped between two realities and, according to certain rebels, a mythical figure upon whom hopes for freedom become focused.
