In a fractured elven kingdom built on illusion and order, an idealistic young Ranger named Anton uncovers a dark conspiracy orchestrated by the woman he once loved - a revered figure of power and diplomacy. When his closest friend Corbin is exiled to a brutal prison mine, Anton must choose between loyalty, love, or the pursuit of true justice.
Logline:
Anton Anfarin is a young model soldier raised to embody the values of discipline, duty, and service, with a strong moral compass and an unwavering belief in the system that gave him purpose. But when his best friend and fellow Ranger, Corbin, reveals a conspiracy involving the illegal trade of magical gemstones, an operation tied to Anton’s own lover and superior, Eralil, the foundation of Anton’s belief system begins to crack.
When Anton brings this to Eralil’s attention, rather than acknowledging the truth, she sacrifices Corbin to preserve her own image. Corbin is exiled to Concana, a brutal island mining camp where prisoners are used for expendable labor mining magic gemstones in hazardous monster-infested caverns. Anton must navigate a foreign and treacherous world of schemes and bureaucracy, slowly unraveling everything he thought was right, pitting his love and loyalty against the ugly truth.
Meanwhile, in the shadows of Concana prison, Corbin discovers something even more disturbing: unnatural experiments on prisoners tied to the deep-rooted corruption that infects the kingdom.
