In a fractured world where names are forbidden, relationships outlawed, and hope is punishable by death, only the pigeons are free—ugly, unwanted, and left unchained. Through smoke, blood, and whispered poems, a cast of broken souls emerges: V, a woman carved and sealed by a system she refused to serve; H, a boy with mismatched eyes and a ghostly guide; F, a lover caught between loyalty and longing; and L, who finds passion in a world that has forgotten tenderness.

As they stumble toward the border that divides survival from the unknown, they must confront the truth that to cross over isn't merely to escape—but to become. In this searing dystopia, where humanity is smothered and the dead hold more freedom than the living, what does it truly mean to be alive?

A poetic, violent, and haunting tale about the cost of feeling, the politics of flesh, and the last breath of beauty in a world too cruel to remember it.
