Pablo’s immersion in the world of Night blinds him to the consequences of his actions, slowly fracturing the trust he once shared with Apolline. As the shutdown of Darknoon looms, the real and virtual worlds begin to blur, with their digital sanctuary becoming a battleground for power, control, and survival. Apolline, forced to navigate this chaos alone, discovers a strength within herself she never knew existed, while Pablo spirals deeper into his obsession with Night. The clock ticks down, and with every passing moment, their bond is tested, revealing the fragility of loyalty in a world where nothing is as it seems. As the final showdown between the rival gangs approaches, both siblings must confront the truth about their relationship, their choices, and the price of their digital escape.
