SHED

City, the near future. The city rots beneath endless rain and neon, where humans and synthetics coexist uneasily under the shadow of corporate greed. Survival here isn’t just about money, it’s about Shed, a glowing black-market drug that keeps synthetics alive when the official supply runs dry. Kade Reed, a burnt-out delivery driver and reluctant Shed dealer, dreams of something better for his wife Mara and their daughter Lila. But every delivery pulls him deeper into the underworld he swore he’d escape. Mara, trapped in her own compromises, resents his dealings but sees no other way to keep their daughter fed. Together, they cling to the fragile hope of escaping Earth aboard the USS Caspian, a colony ship promising new life on another planet. Their chance comes at a price, forged IDs, stolen cash, and one final run. But Sergeant Strann. A brutal CityPD enforcer with his own addiction to Shed nhas been watching. Strann isn’t just after dealers, he’s after Kade, convinced the family’s escape threatens the fragile order of the system. As Strann closes in, Kade’s world unravels in a storm of betrayals, raids, and narrow escapes through the city’s crumbling underbelly. With the Caspian’s engines firing for launch, Kade faces a brutal choice, surrender to the system and lose his family, or gamble everything on one last desperate chance at freedom. In a world where every breath is bought, where love costs more than money, SHED is a gritty, neon-soaked thriller about survival, sacrifice, and the price of hope.
