An orbital hotel becomes a dazzling trap, where desire, danger, and forbidden science collide — and every secret could shatter reality itself.High above Earth and the sweltering summer heat, the Hotel Psyche orbits like a glittering mirage. A marvel of ambition and decay, its corridors teem with androids stitched from human remains, visionaries chasing forbidden knowledge, and guests haunted by questions the living were never meant to ask.Among them is Penelope, an android pieced together from a lost life, desperate for connection and a sense of self. Alice, a young bellhop searching for her vanished mother, stumbles into a labyrinth of intrigue after being kidnapped aboard. And in the hotel's observatory, scientists train a telescope on the probe Galatea, a window into another dimension that whispers secrets too dangerous to ignore.As desires collide and obsessions spiral, the Hotel Psyche begins to reveal its darkest truth: this hotel is not a sanctuary but a threshold; one that blurs the line between life and death, and dares its visitors to cross.
