The Drifting Ashes

In the wake of a digital entertainment boom that left countless souls hollowed out, two broken men flee across the frozen borderlands between the nations of Yukishima and Sorahae. Haunted by a fatal incident over a hidden contract that enslaved idols to a dying era, a disgraced composer and a violent manager carry a drive of damning data. Their road journey through blizzard-scoured wastelands becomes a slow descent into mutual distrust and moral decay. As the police and a corporate assassin close in, trust collapses into a final, self-destructive reckoning—a story of how the toxins of a transitional age erupt into crime.
