Synopsis
On the island of Kekon, two rival clans of jade-powered warriors control the criminal underworld in an Asian-inspired secondary world. When a new drug allows anyone to wield jade's supernatural abilities, a bloody gang war erupts that threatens to tear apart the Kaul family — and the fragile balance of power they've maintained for a generation.
