This community exists outside the natural laws of aging and death, a fact that is protected by strict rules and often brutal enforcement. The narrative introduces the readers in this world primarily with the eyes of an outsider into the complex network of relationships and the dark history of the city.

The story unpacked how the unique state of the city distorts human nature and leads to authoritarian control, simmering resentment and violent power struggles when different groups deal with their infinite existence. Topics of freedom towards security, the meaning of life without death and the potential for stagnation or corruption within a closed society are woven throughout the story.
