The story follows Zoey Ashe, a young woman who unexpectedly finds herself inheriting and running her late father's criminal empire with assistance from his inner circle known as "The Suits."

Follow our unexpected hero on her journey to the richest and newest city in the world, Tabula Ra$a, as she goes on the run, facing off countless unknown superhuman powers from an ever growing list of enemies she’d never even heard of, in a world where fame and social media status are as glamorous as futuristic super powers and weapons.
