Nestled in one of the worst parts of Seattle is a place where anyone can go to get patched up, no questions asked. They call it Mercy Street and itâs a practically free clinic run by a drunk old troll named Shimura, whoâs seen a lot in his years.
When a decker named Lockdown Paradox shows up bleeding on his doorstep, itâs just an average Tuesday, but when corporate stooges looking for her show up and try to shake Shimura down for information, he wonders just what this kid hackerâs gotten herself into. But heâs not the only one wonderingâĶParadox thinks thereâs more to the olâ whiskey doc than meets the eye, wondering if he might be a legendary shadowrunner that might be able to help her.
When she turns up missing, Shimura is forced to go far deeper into the sleaze and sprawl than he ever wanted to...and return to a part of his past heâd sworn to leave behind if he wants to get both of them out aliveâĶ
