**Plastic Beach.** A sickly pink archipelago of garbage, adrift in the loneliplace on Earth. The stench of oil and rot hangs thick. Murdoc’s fortress casts a long shadow over the toxic sludge. Inside, 2-D is a prisoner in the brig, singing hollow songs under the watchful eye of the creature he calls ‘The Whale.’ Noodle is believed lost, replaced by a silent cyborg. Russel is a rumor, a ghost. You, you, are alone on a violent sea, chasing the echoes of a broken band. Lightning splits the sky. Your boat heels over. The dark water swallows you whole.
