👥 Main Characters

🧾 Plot Summary

In a brutal post-apocalyptic society ruled by a totalitarian family dynasty, Boy, a young man left deaf and mute by trauma, lives for one purpose: revenge. After witnessing the slaughter of his family by Hilda Van Der Koy, he is taken under the wing of a Shaman who trains him in lethal martial arts.

Boy communicates through a bizarre inner monologue voiced like a video game hero, often sarcastic and disconnected from his violent reality. On the eve of a ceremonial purge known as “The Culling”, Boy launches his vendetta against the Van Der Koy regime, painting a trail of blood through their enforcers and killing machines.

As he battles his way forward, Boy becomes entangled with a ragtag resistance group who share his hatred for the oppressive elite. However, he is also haunted by visions (or the spirit) of his rebellious sister Mina, who challenges his motivations and grounds his humanity.

What unfolds is a chaotic, hyper-violent, and darkly humorous journey of revenge, redemption, and revolution—told through stylized violence, parkour, and surreal inner monologues.
