Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners drops into Night City, a neon-drenched Californian metropolis where dreams are usually swallowed by money, implants, and violence. David Martinez grows up in the city's slums with his mother, who works herself to exhaustion so he can attend the prestigious Arasaka Academy and one day rise to the top of Arasaka, the world's leading security corporation. When a brutal run-in with a street gang leaves his life in ruins, David implants a Sandevistan cyberware unit that grants superhuman speed. He uses it to strike back at one of his tormentors, but the choice costs him his place at the academy and threatens the future his mother sacrificed for. That spiral pulls him into Lucy Kushinada, a beautiful data thief who sees a way out for him and offers to team up. Through Lucy, David is drawn into the world of Edgerunners—cyborg criminals who live fast, break laws for money, and risk losing their minds to the same cyberware that keeps them alive. In a city built on corruption, David chases survival, belonging, and a chance to protect the people he cares about, even if the price keeps climbing.
