The story follows Kai, a lonely young hacker whose life changes when she becomes involved with Suma Garage, a group of underground couriers who carry out deliveries for people in need. Through their work, Kai is drawn into parts of the city hidden beneath its orderly surface, where drugs, crime, and corruption continue to operate despite the city's polished image.
