Anarameha

Ana's got a secret. A past that she wants to leave behind. Her survival in the neon city of Geniprea depends on avoiding the authorities. The past, however, has been cruel and leaves Ana in a situation where she will always have to put herself into the sights of the authorities just to live. Her only hope is to blend into the crowd of thousands of people in a futuristic city that towers high into the sky.

One moment will change her course. On the run from the police, Ana falls into a tunnel. In the layers deemed to be too dangerous for many, Ana discovers a hidden part of the city she thought she knew, with residents that should be living in the upper levels. The residents are vampires, a race that Ana believed were living among the humans, not in the drains.

In the tunnels, Ana will find a man who reminds her of the past. She knows it is not possible that a dead man could be alive but can't help but look at Jiro and wonder. As their friendship begins to form, Jiro's life begins to weigh heavily on Ana's. Will he be the friend that she needs or will he expose Ana's secret to those who are determined to destroy her?
