In the fictional universe of this graphic novel, the main rule is ruthless and simple: if you are forgotten, then you are dead. Only if a person is remembered, can he exist. Wherever your gaze falls, you will see thousands of characters begging for a second of your attention - their names are displayed on numerous screens.
For some, moments of fame add up to immortality. For others, this daily race to attract the attention of others is nothing more than a means to survive. The main character, Manel Naer, is one of them. But one day she discovers that her place has been taken by a girl with exactly the same initials. But unlike Manel herself, who finds solitude in a bookstore, the stranger is super popular, and her name is constantly on the front pages of newspapers.
Manel understands that soon she will be completely forgotten, which means that she will not only be completely forgotten, but also inevitably die. Everything changes when, at the moment of her breakdown, the girl slaps the pop star who replaced her. The incident is immediately captured on video. Having received her five minutes of fame, the heroine becomes famous overnight. But the fame that ensured her immortality also has a downside. Gradually, Manel realizes that she is lonely and unhappy. Far beyond the skyscrapers, the Great Emptiness stretches. And the heroine decides to go where no one has ever returned, because she has nothing to lose.
