In a near-future California reeling from brutal murders and mysterious acid rain, Detective Mason Korrick uncovers a chilling link between biotech experiments and a string of calculated massacres. As monstrous mutations rise and entire cities fall under siege, a group of unlikely heroes—Knight Man, Infinity G, and the tormented Acid Man—stand between humanity and engineered extinction. Behind the chaos lurks a powerful organization, Nelon, orchestrating evolution through destruction. From police stations to secret labs and towering sentinels, The Acute: The First Reckoning is a high-stakes saga of mutation, sacrifice, and resistance, where hope flickers in the acid-soaked ruins of a crumbling world.
