Daylight Rules

In a near-future where a perpetual solar eclipse blankets the Earth, a determined scientist, Dr. Evelyn Reed, races against time to restore sunlight. She must confront a powerful corporation that profits from the darkness while navigating the societal unrest and dwindling resources of a world plunged into perpetual twilight. Her quest leads her to uncover a dangerous secret about the eclipse itself and the true cost of returning the day.
