Eden 4023: a utopia where happiness is mandated, anger is illegal, and the past is a burden best left forgotten.
Citizens live under the watchful eyes of the AI, Silvers, their every move monitored, their emotions carefully regulated. Dr. Tanger, a hunter of the Angry, enforces the law with unwavering obedience, his own past a blank slate by choice.
When whispers of a rebellion begin to surface, Tanger is tasked with investigating the source of dissent. As he delves deeper, he encounters a group of individuals who dare to defy the enforced happiness, who embrace the forbidden flames of anger and yearn for freedom. Among them is a street-smart orphan girl, her spirit as fiery as the emotions she refuses to suppress.
Tanger finds himself drawn to their cause, their defiance echoing a long-forgotten spark within him. He begins to question the very foundation of Eden, the motives behind the enforced happiness, and the true cost of a life without emotions.
As he peels back the layers of deception, Tanger confronts not only the secrets of his society but also the hidden depths of his own past and a boy he once loved like a son. The memories he has suppressed begin to resurface, revealing a truth that could shatter the fragile peace of Eden and ignite a revolution that will forever change their world.
