In the near-future sprawl of Dogtown, Santa Monica, survival is a trade-and everyone's selling something. Scavenger Nix tries to unload a stash of black-market, military tech, with the help of his skate-rat compatriot, a street kid named Kick, and a crew of Mercado hustlers, who know the price of every secret. What starts as a simple score becomes a collision between human grit and corporate control in a world where mistakes are expensive and life is cheap.
