Layar monitor berpendar lembut, menerangi sudut gelap kamar sempit itu. Jemari Andi menari lincah di atas keyboard, menuntaskan permainan terakhirnya malam itu. Suara gemuruh kemenangan di ruang obrolan virtual menggema, memenuhi headset yang melingkar di telinganya. Di balik layar, ribuan mata menatapnya dengan kekaguman, memujanya sebagai bintang di dunia game. Namun, di balik persona ceria dan cerdasnya di depan kamera, ada rahasia yang tak pernah terlihat. Rahasia yang hanya diketahui oleh mereka yang berani masuk lebih dalam ke dunianya. Andi, sang streamer terkenal, menyimpan hasrat yang tak terpuaskan—sebuah sisi gelap yang tersembunyi di balik layar birunya. Notifikasi di ponselnya berbunyi. Sebuah pesan dari aplikasi itu. Nama pengirimnya disamarkan, tapi isi pesannya cukup jelas. "Jam delapan malam. Hotel biasa. Aku sudah tidak sabar." Andi melepaskan headset, menyandarkan tubuhnya ke kursi. Senyum kecil terlukis di wajahnya. Ini bukan kali pertama, dan jelas bukan yang terakhir. Dia tahu ini salah. Dia tahu permainannya terlalu berbahaya. Tapi bagaimana mungkin dia berhenti, saat setiap pertemuan memberinya sensasi yang tak tergantikan? Malam itu, layar biru dimatikan. Tapi cerita Andi baru saja dimulai.

"City of Two Worlds" In the divided city of Blizzel, where the elite live above in gleaming towers and the desperate struggle for survival below in the Techno Canyon, the gap between the two worlds grows ever wider. At the heart of it all is the Energy Tower — the city’s lifeblood, an ancient and powerful structure that keeps the lights on, but also hides dark secrets about its true purpose. Elián, a young engineer from the lower city, is haunted by the death of his sister, Ana, who died in a factory explosion covered up by the government. With no answers, Elián seeks justice, determined to uncover the truth behind the system that failed her and countless others. As the city begins to tremble under the weight of its own corruption, Elián’s path crosses with Oleg, the charismatic leader of the underground rebel group "RadioTapok." Oleg’s songs, filled with hidden messages of resistance, fuel the fires of rebellion in the lower city. Together with his newfound allies, Elián discovers that the Energy Tower is not just a source of power, but a weapon — a ticking time bomb waiting to tear the city apart. On the other side of the divide, Laena, a brilliant but conflicted scientist from the upper city, is also drawn to the tower’s dark secrets. As she uncovers the true nature of her family’s involvement in the tower’s creation, she is forced to question everything she has ever known about her world. As Elián, Laena, and Oleg forge uneasy alliances, the city begins to unravel. With betrayal, secrets, and the clash of two worlds, the struggle for control of Blizzel becomes a battle not just for survival, but for the future of the entire city. Will they be able to stop the impending disaster before it’s too late? Or will their efforts be crushed under the weight of the powers that control Blizzel? In this city of shadows and light, no one is safe, and nothing is as it seems.
