COPPERLINE

A mayor hungry for more power and control, a city of false beauty with secrets hidden below the ground, and an unsuspecting hero who rises from the ashes of the government's attempt to burn the bridges to the outside world.

An escapee from a secret government facility becomes a headache for Mayor, Martin Black, who is trying to maintain order within the city and keep his secrets covered. The escapee wants out of the city, but also knows the truth to his identity is hidden somewhere within Copperline.

Martin knows that he is walking on thin ice with an unworldly entity that is growing in his basement, yet the more he learns about the escapee, he discovers the many similarities between the two of them.

Will the escapee learn the truth and overtake the city's supervillain, or will the mayor steamroll even the people closest to him all to keep his secrets hidden from the world?
