Welcome to Sunny RESORT: A Concrete Nirvana where the mojitos are cheap, the hangovers are mandatory, and your happiness is no longer your own.

Tristan Kolev, a man with the practiced manners of a retired yuppie and a chronic lack of gainful employment, has just been offered the job of a lifetime. Recruited by the enigmatic Dr. Antony Chang of "Blue Wings," Tristan is sent to the hyper-saturated delirium of a mega-resort. His mission? Not to measure the pool temperatures, but to observe the "Wicked Joy" of the masses-the specific, illogical euphoria that allows enemies to embrace over karaoke and tourists to ignore the cracks in the reality around them.

But beneath the "All-Inclusive" buffet and the neon glow, a darker machinery is at work. Tristan soon discovers that Blue Wings isn't just a travel firm; it's a global harvester of the human soul. In hidden sub-basements, the extracted joy of vacationers is being processed into data-spores to animate a new, synthetic generation: the Glass Children.

From insurance scams involving alien abductions to vengeful tattoos that read "Eat Rotten Rice," Tristan is swept into a world where reality is fracturing. As the "Shenzhen Signal" prepares to go global, Tristan must choose between his comfortable life as a corporate observer and a desperate, low-tech rebellion led by a limping bellboy and a disgraced aristocrat.

In a world where joy is a commodity and memories are a liability, the only way out is to stop being an eagle-and start being a man who remembers the cold.
