It’s illegal to wear clothes. In some streets, it’s also illegal to sing. Concetta, a famous Italian a capella singer
from before “the change,” breaks these laws. As punishment, her vocal
chords are brutally slashed, and her eardrums surgically perforated.
Unable to cope living a life without song, she resolves to drown herself
in the river, clothed in a dress stained with performance memories. But
Concetta’s suicide attempt is deterred, when she is distracted by a
busking harpist with gold eyes and teeth. Will he show her how to sing
again, or will the LEO on the prowl for another offender to detain,
arrest her before she has the chance?
