Summary
After the devastating events of his last Q-pid expedition, Sam Porter Bridges is a man haunted by grief, guilt, and ghosts that refuse to stay buried. Alone once again and desperate to outrun his past, he throws himself into the endless grind of porter work, until a figure from that past reappears in the most impossible of ways.
Higgs, long presumed gone, resurfaces. Damaged, but still dangerously charismatic. When Sam makes the mistake of accepting one more pizza delivery request, he finds himself face-to-face with the man who nearly destroyed everything he held dear. But this time, the encounter ends not in violence, but in something far more unexpected: a plea for help.
Caught between anger, resentment, and a flicker of reluctant empathy, Sam must decide whether redemption is possible for a man like Higgs, or if some monsters are better left dead in the tar.
In short: a post-Death Stranding 2, Higgs-focused fix-it, heavy on grief, depression, and the slow, messy process of learning how not to be a monster anymore.
