A simple sip of black coffee is violently transmuted into the aesthetic matcha his audience craves, leaving him with nothing but flavorless illusions and a hollow soul. Controlled by the ruthless Omni-Trend corporation and its CEO, Victoria Thomas, Nicholas is little more than a biological battery farmed for corporate power. As the pressure to maintain his digital avatar threatens to erase his humanity entirely, he desperately longs for a life beyond the screen.
