Marco is a man made of steel and grit, a structural welder who moved into Apartment 4B to be a ghost. Following a hollow divorce that stripped him of his home and his heart, heās retreated into a world of 4:00 AM shifts and solitary evenings. Heās rude, heās exhausted, and he wants nothing to do with his neighborsāespecially the one next door who keeps trying to hand him cookies and light.
Empire Bay, 1948. Y/N Bellandi, a ballet dancer and politicianās daughter, comes from a world of wealth, elegance, and strict expectations. Vito Scaletta comes from the streets, chasing money, respect, and a better life. Two completely different worlds collideāand what starts as curiosity slowly becomes something more.
