Indie

Midas returned to Toronto with a new business plan. After years of big deals in the south he decided to do it better. It was always so hard to make money and do good at the same time. With his indie caf he'd do both. But this reinvention comes at a mysterious price as certain visitors arrive with insistent business propositions.

Making it more difficult, the town he'd left was as overwhelmed by the notorious sins as everywhere else, buckling under ecological decay, a weakening state, rampant fraud and violence. As he defends his caf , his world morphs in bizarre and threatening ways. One wonders if his growing horror is real or a distraught misperception of reality, and a clue comes from an unlikely place: his favorite customer.

Zora has her own troubles. A progressive artist, she'd recently quit a revolutionary movement until she's mired back in. Her journey and perception of reality morphs too, and they both participate in a grander struggle over the absurd elusiveness of truth.
