In the glittering void above Jupiter, Elysium Station floats—a luxury casino for the galaxy’s richest criminals, warlords, and technocrats. When word spreads that the station’s hidden vault houses a priceless data crystal—the only backup of a rogue AI once deemed too dangerous to exist—a crew of outcasts bands together to pull off the most daring heist in human history. The plan? Exploit the casino’s one moment of vulnerability: a system-wide reset known as The Midnight Spin.

As the lines between reality and illusion blur, the crew must fight not only to escape with the prize, but to keep their minds—and loyalties—intact. Because on Elysium Station, the house doesn’t just win… it learns.
