Grift City is a dystopian sci-fi thriller about the pitfalls of privatization and capitalism. In the year 2104, Raven Grimm is a cop-for-hire that is contracted under the Private City Police Department, in a sprawling metropolis where the entire local government has been privatized. After the disappearance of a notable young actress, Raven takes a new case that leads her down the path toward investigating the most influential quadrillionaire in the entire city, in this dystopian satire where the line between homo sapiens and artificial sapiens has become more blurred than ever.
