The Wall's Shadow

In the divided continent of Torvania and Larnaca, the Meridian Wall has severed the Callahan and Vasquez families for a decade. When a forgotten colonial tunnel reconnects their basements, it sparks a desperate survival economy—smuggling cryptocurrency, medicine, and cash. But the newly passed Border Asset Forfeiture Act harbors a deliberate loophole: authorities can seize any suspicious cross-border wealth without criminal charges, converting it into clean political capital. As the families become trapped in a cynical game of institutionalized theft, they realize the wall isn’t just steel and concrete—it’s a legal backdoor, built to profit the powerful at the expense of the powerless.
