AI'S TRIED EVERYTHING TO KEEP HIS PROMISE. EXCEPT TREASON.

Ai Nagashima has had enough. A demotion has struck down his chances of having the powers that be listening to his pleas for human rights reform, so a treasonous public campaign to turn heads and hearts is his only option.

When the finger points to him for an unrelated incident, he takes the same lethal plunge as countless veterans before him. He knows working to oust the corrupt mayor, running his campaign, being a single father and vomiting blood isn't sustainable. Every day brings a crisis, and execution looms.

But Ai will do anything to stop Hyukai's self destructive spiral. Frame an innocent man, steal from the archives, set the capital alight, banish his allies underground, anything.

He tells himself it's not about his lonely best friend.

He knows it's his turn to make the ultimate sacrifice.
