Vital Exchange

In the crumbling coastal republic of Veridia, a dying oligarch and a desperate immigrant laborer collide in a back-alley deal that trades a kidney for a future. When a wrong turn down a rain-slicked street rewrites their fates, the lines between consent, coercion, and murder blur. This is a noir fable about how money doesn't just buy organs—it buys the law, the jury, and the story itself.
