V and Bryce, operating without the interference of a fixer, find themselves drawn closer as they navigate the treacherous landscape of Night City. With each mission, their connection deepens, but alongside their growing trust, they also harbor secrets—secrets that could either strengthen their bond or tear them apart.

Unknown to V and Bryce, their actions have attracted the attention of the secretive organization known as Ziggurat. For months, Ziggurat has been tracking Bryce's every move, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Sensing an opportunity to exploit Bryce's power and control over the Blackwall and NetWatch, Ziggurat hatches a plan to manipulate him, turning him into a pawn in their nefarious game.

The day of reckoning arrives as Ziggurat's plan is set into motion. A carefully orchestrated attack results in Bryce being targeted with a sophisticated Black ICE program, designed to seize control of his systems. Despite Ziggurat's intentions to use Bryce as a tool, they had underestimated the depth of his loyalty and determination to protect Night City.

V, driven by love and desperation, fights to save Bryce from the clutches of Ziggurat's control. As they dig deeper into the organization's machinations, they uncover a web of deceit and manipulation that extends far beyond their own relationship. Together, they confront their shared enemies, exposing the truth and battling against the odds to reclaim their freedom.
