You’ve lost your memories and are now working off your debt. While most Sleepers are addicted to drugs, keeping them under control, you have managed to break free and only require basic necessities like food and sleep. However, there’s something else troubling you, and you find yourself on the run from a potentially more dangerous entity than the corporation.
