In a bustling metropolis that hides miracles behind skyscrapers and shadows, David Foreman is a nobody, a medical student dropout scraping through life.

Through betrayal, sacrifice, and battles in both alleys and hospitals, David rises from the city’s forgotten corners to become the one name whispered in fear and awe: “The Surgeon of Shadows.”
