Discover the hidden costs of eternal life as you follow the stories of those touched by Manna's power. From corporate spies and desperate artists to the very creators of the drug, you'll explore the moral compromises, dangerous conspiracies, and profound questions about what it truly means to be human when death is no longer a certainty.
