Wishmen

A Future Noir Thriller About What We Want—And What It Costs

By: Sky Daltrey

Narrated by: Nathan Chatelier

Wishes come true. Freedom disappears.

Nico Gracie, a gifted game developer, longs to create something real in a world that rewards distraction over meaning. Felicia, an artist haunted by visions of disaster, is desperate to save her sister from a system that turns human hope into experimentation. When their paths cross, they uncover a shared past — and a future neither of them can outrun.

The island of Anglesden hums with electric nostalgia: retro cars, neon saloons, and immersive games that promise fulfillment. It is governed by MANA, a wish-granting system twisted by the authoritarian Founder into an instrument of quiet control.

As desire becomes currency and happiness is carefully engineered, Nico and Felicia confront a final question: in a noir future where technology controls destiny, can the human heart still prevail?
