When the Stone Weeps

Silas Vane is a tech billionaire known as "The Stone," a man who surgically removed his ability to cry to eliminate biological weakness. He faces Madame Leocadia, a corporate mystic who delivers a prophecy predicting his downfall, setting the stage for a battle between superstition and cold, hard logic. In a fortress atop the city, Silas Vane receives a warning: his empire will fall the moment he sheds a tear. Confident in the surgery that cauterized his tear ducts years ago, Vane dismisses the mystic. But as he retreats to his high-tech bunker to crush a corporate rival, a mechanical failure and his own security protocols conspire to test the limits of his physical humanity.
