“They call me Downspout, and I am not as a Kang should be.”
Paradise Towers is a place where worlds collide. The cold, clean efficiency of the caretakers’ Paradise. The wallscrawled decay of the Kangs’ Towers.

Because if he finds you, it could bring both Paradise and the Towers crashing down for good …
