After witnessing the corruption of the Power Faction and suffering a devastating personal loss, Einar retreats into the wastelands, choosing isolation over the controlled oppression of the city. Living off the land, he builds his own technology, including AB-6, a robotic assistant who provides both aid and sharp-witted commentary. As Einar perfects his self-sustaining lifestyle, shadows of the past and the growing unrest beyond his exile threaten to pull him back into the conflict. But can a man who abandoned civilization truly stay hidden from its reach?
