Set in the dystopian future on a bustling yet deceased Space Station, where corruption thrives and the sweet flower of morality has long been thwarted by the many political groups that boast their influence within the Station's walls. Long has anything but the Station existed, and it is all people have come to know. History and the past have withered away with time and negligence, and thus every day has become like the last, decadent and insensitive, and society has adopted the archetype of reckless indulgence. Saudade tells the recollection of events by a novice investigator known only as Liam Ludus, working for the government figure known only as Him, through their juridical force known as the Authority. It relates Liam's encounters with his partner, a mysterious enigma known only as John, as they attempt to solve a seemingly normal crime on the Station. However, the discoveries involve greater forces at play. Not only is the mystery of the Saudade organisation resolved but also the mystery of John, and Liam realises that he shares more than just a partnership with the fellow, a union of understanding through shared pain, in a place where fraternity and endearment had long ceased to exist.
