Soft Lock

Kensington Avenue, Philadelphia. Here, addicts don't measure time in hours, but in the intervals between the shakes and the next fix.

To the world, it is an unsolvable tragedy. To an elite network of sadistic crypto-millionaires, it's the ultimate entertainment. Through networked bodycams, they puppet the junkies in an interactive livestream. They reward raw suffering with fentanyl, punish hesitation with death, and place bets on survival in the urban jungle.

Welcome to "Soft Lock," the bloodiest game on the darknet.

When the silent veteran Graves steps onto the playing field, he looks like the perfect prey: wrecked, broken, and desperate. But beneath the urine-soaked puffer jacket, there is no victim. Graves is an ice-cold operator who has descended into hell for one reason only: to crash the system.
