Stripped of his job and his pride, he is cast out into the freezing night, bleeding and broken. Yet, as the city's neon lights fade, a spark ignites within him, hinting at a power that could redefine his forsaken path. Can a humiliated mortal rise against a world designed to crush him, or will this newfound awakening lead to an even greater downfall?
