In a near-future coastal city where rising seas encroach on rusted skyscrapers, a rogue hydro-engineer hacks the tide-control dam to expose a corporate cover-up—sending shockwaves through a submerged underclass that communicates only through percussive water drums and neon-lit gondolas. Blending industrial electronica, lyrical folk ballads, and tap choreography performed on knee-deep flooded stages, Ripple & Rust is a techno-noir tale of rebellion, climate justice, and the rhythms that bind a drowning world together.
