The story so far...
The Shangri-La of yesteryear (2009) was a dystopian vision of a pleasure-city ruled by a corrupt power dedicated to enforcing its vision of perfect 24hr pleasure - a regime-sanctioned utopia.
At the end of last year the rebels overthrew the regime and the city has been flooded by pleasure-givers from all corners of the universe seeking to carve out their own version of perfect paradise. Those with resources have taken over vast areas in flashy style, whilst others create miniature palaces from pallets and waste. But co-existence never was easy and when resources become short, the focus must shift from looking for pleasure to fighting to survive.
