Collar & Dagger · Case files

Every city has two lives.

The one humans see. And the one that begins when they stop paying attention.

Chapter 01 · The world

When the last human falls asleep, Greyport wakes up.

When the doors are locked and the television goes dark, an entirely different society comes alive: beneath the streets, behind unmarked doors, across abandoned rooftops, and aboard ships that officially don't exist.

For centuries it has kept a delicate balance. Rival organizations fight for influence, fortunes change hands, and shadow wars are fought, all while the human world stays blissfully unaware.

In the city of Greyport, that balance is about to collapse.

  • Governments.
  • Intelligence agencies.
  • Criminal empires.
  • Military forces.
  • Black markets.
  • Rules.
The most sacred rule

Humans must never discover the truth.

      Chapter 06 · The bigger story

      The Watchers

      Nobody knows who they are. Nobody knows what they want. They've been operating for decades, inside the syndicates, the agencies and the fleets. They don't want the Black Collar for money. They want to end the secret world.
