In a city that never sleeps, a girl walks alone carrying the last light of a forgotten world.

After a global catastrophe, one city remains — lit by bioluminescent fireflies and the hopes of the survivors. A young woman who remembers the world before must choose between joining the city's fragile peace or venturing out into the silent darkness to find other survivors. A quiet, atmospheric post-apocalyptic tale.
