poor survive on what they can. One day, Rudo is falsely accused of murder and
sentenced to be thrown along with the trash into the void. On the surface,

uncover the truth, and take revenge, Rudo must master a new power and join the
Cleaners, a group that fights these fearsome creatures of the
"Well."
The manga
