The year is 2160, and the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union never ended. In this alternate history, the Soviet Union remains a global superpower, locked in a prolonged ideological and technological standoff that has shaped a grim, cyberpunk reality. Moscow is a city stripped of freedom, truth, and prosperity, where cyborg soldiers, their minds frayed from war, wander the streets under the watchful eye of the authorities. Behind the facade of state control, a brutal shadow war is waged by the KGB, Western spies, and ruthless mafia factions.

The protagonist, Danila Kragin, is a flesh-and-blood mercenary known as a janitor a disposable asset hired to eliminate dangerous augmented individuals. Unlike the cyborgs that populate the city’s underbelly, Danila relies on his wits and an antique PPSh-41 submachine gun, a museum piece upgraded to withstand combat against technologically superior foes. His life is a desperate balancing act, fought in alleyways and decaying ghettos, to earn enough to survive.

Danila fights not for ideology but for his makeshift family. He is the guardian of his younger siblings, including his step-sister Maria, a hacker who supports his missions, and Nora, who has traded her own flesh for a cybernetic claw. His greatest motivation is his lover, Stasia, a celebrated ballerina and Moscow’s prima donna. However, Stasia leads a double life; to support herself, she works as an elite prostitute. Ashamed of his violent profession and desperate to build a future with her, Danila sets an impossible goal: to earn 100 million rubles to buy her mother’s freedom, allowing Stasia to leave her secret life behind and join his family.

The narrative follows Danila as he navigates this hostile world, taking on increasingly dangerous janitor contracts that pit him against government death squads, rival gangs, and rogue cyborgs. As he delves deeper into Moscow’s underworld, his past as an orphan who grew up in the city’s subterranean tunnels resurfaces. The story explores his struggle to maintain his humanity in a society where bodies are modified and life is cheap, and where the line between the state and the mob is virtually nonexistent. Every mission is a sprint to return home to the siblings waiting for him and the woman he dreams of rescuing, knowing that in the eternal Cold War of Moscow 2160, one wrong move means death.
