✦ Synopsis
Bart lives in the pressure cooker that’s the Black Hole; a neon-lit hell filled with prostitutes, pimps, and pushers. Muggings, murders, and mods are commonplace, and few earn enough credits to get by, let alone support a family.
He gives the best of himself to his dead-end job and despotic boss, yet still only earns enough credits to last five out of the seven days in a week. Each night, he returns exhausted to his dilapidated house to comfort his starving wife and daughter. If only his love could fill the chasm in their stomachs created by his failings.
But even in a place like the Black Hole, there are opportunities for those stupid or desperate enough to take them. Drug trials, loan sharks, and gangs all offer the possibility of extra credits.
With Bart’s inability to provide sending him and his family on a downward trajectory, maybe he’s both stupid and desperate enough to try something different. And someone has to win in this hellish place, so why not him?
