“Good life pay life”
In the future, technology and mankind are fused together. The world’s largest corporation, “Nirvana Corporation”, implants a “Nirvana ID” into newborns that not only serve convenience functions such as identification and payment but also preserve every person’s complete life record. Set in the distant future, lazy and selfish Pigsy embarks on a journey of deceit and swindling in an effort to attain a better life, only to find out that true happiness is closer than you think.
