Dallos

On a resource-depleted Earth, humanity’s future hinges on the colonization of the moon, now a meticulously controlled orbital penal colony known as Dallos. But beneath the surface of this new frontier, simmering resentment boils over as the colonists, born into a life of servitude and deprivation, begin to chafe under the iron fist of their terrestrial overlords. When a charismatic leader ignites the flames of rebellion, a young man named Shun finds himself caught between the yearning for freedom and the brutal realities of war. As the fight for independence escalates, the colonists must confront not only the overwhelming might of Earth's military but also the moral complexities of their own struggle. With cyborg enforcers patrolling the lunar landscape and the specter of death looming large, Dallos explores the desperate lengths to which people will go for liberation, and the painful coming-of-age that occurs when the adults in power prove utterly incapable of guiding them toward a brighter future.
