SynchroNyk

In a sea of silver sand, three ruined towers stand above the surface.

To the Scavengers in the slums outside of Central City, they represent pillars of hope. The treasures that lie within might net a fortune, so long as one has proper equipment, good instincts, and a little luck.

Nyk has none of those things. He can't afford high-powered weaponry or cybernetic augmentations. He barely has enough silvs for a single rifle. But if he wants to survive to see tomorrow he has to set out into the wasteland regardless, and scavenge for whatever he can find.

However, it isn't treasure he finds within the ruins, but a beautiful woman. And after meeting her, Nyk's life will never be the same again.
