Description

A gritty, near‑future courtroom drama opens with a hard‑nosed public defender nursing a bad morning and a looming test of his instincts. He’s pulled into a tangled web of “Stigma” cases—legal battles where psychic abilities are weaponized, corrupt officials are manipulated, and the city’s power brokers whisper about elections and revenge. As he meets a slick partner, a shadowy Grievance Committee, and a notorious hallucinator who can bend perception, the protagonist must navigate a maze of deceit while trying to protect both his client and his own reputation.

The story blends street‑level law practice with a subtle, unsettling sci‑fi edge, exploring how society treats those who are “different” and how that difference can be exploited for political gain. Listeners are drawn into a tense, dialogue‑rich world where every courtroom maneuver may hide a deeper psychic gamble, setting up a compelling clash between justice, ambition, and the strange new powers reshaping the city.
