The world of The Highwater Gate is a blend of gritty urban noir, future technology, and ethically complex storytelling. The line between human thought and machine calculation, right and wrong, is blurred - leaving our characters to navigate the intricate layers of this dark and compelling landscape with their own moral compasses.
Technology is ubiquitous, with automated cars and sexbots integrated into everyday life. From patrolbots helping maintain order on the streets to the bleeding-edge prosthetic limbs that blurr the line between human and machine, the series explores the impact of these advancements on society, raising questions about autonomy, privacy and the place of humanity in the future.

Against this backdrop, our protagonists uncover an intricate conspiracy, face formidable adversaries, and grapple with the consequences of their actions, Rox and Otto become unlikely heroes, striving to bring justice and order to a city teetering on the edge of chaos.
