    Summary

    For a nomad that wants to leave his past behind, the allure of NC is too strong to resist- with its chaotic mix of frenetic activity and anonymity, Night City is the perfect place to be around people yet still be alone.

    With no money or prospects, V gets a job at Caliente. He’s not a barista by any means, but he knows his way around a kitchen, has a smile a mile wide, and knows a thing or two about making people feel like they’ve been friends with him forever… but never scratching the surface of who he really is. The one thing he hates is the lulls- they make it too easy to get lost in his head and think about things he doesn’t want to remember. The day shifts always seem to be busy- the night ones not so much.

    And even though V hates working nights, there's one strange customer that might just change his mind.
