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.
