This is the story of Evan Evanescent, a quality assessor, who becomes mired in a surrealistic web of corporate psychology, metaphysical guilt, and the suffocating nature of internalised standards. He develops an obsession with an enigmatic poem which leads him to perceive a silent, invisible judge haunting his workplace and home. This evaluative absence eventually destabilises Evan's identity, resulting in a bizarre ontological criminal trial where he is convicted for the disappearance of this non-existent entity. Following his incarceration, Evan transitions from a victim of institutional pressure into a cynical master of systems, learning to manipulate the very frameworks that once oppressed him.
