Pollen

Manchester, a city perpetually shrouded in the hallucinatory haze of the Vurt, faces a new, terrifying pandemic: the 'pollen deaths.' This isn't ordinary pollen, but a psychic, reality-warping dust that blurs the lines between life and death, dreams and nightmares, threatening to unravel the very fabric of existence. Following the trail of a mysterious murder that appears linked to this surreal plague, a street-smart operative named Sibyl is plunged into a desperate investigation. As the city descends further into a dream-state of its own making, ravaged by warring factions, bizarre psychic phenomena, and the ever-present threat of the pollen, Sibyl must navigate its grimy underbelly and shimmering Vurt-realms. She uncovers a conspiracy that reaches into the deepest corners of the city's psyche, forcing her to confront her own past and the nature of reality itself, in a race against time to prevent Manchester's total dissolution into a pollen-induced oblivion.
