Crossing the City, Spire City Season 1, Episode 8

Serialized fiction in a steampunk city. Targeted by a mad scientist's deadly serum, these outcasts band together to uncover the truth, and to fight back.

Spire City is home to mighty machines of steam power and clockwork, and giant beetles pull picturesque carriages over cobbled streets, but there is a darker secret behind these wonders. A deadly infection, created by a mad scientist, is spreading through the city, targeting the poor and powerless, turning them slowly into animals. A group of those infected by the serum join together to survive, to trick the wealthy out of their money, and to fight back.

Desperate for the cash to see the Weave through the winter, Marrel accepts a job from a gang of infecteds. All it requires is some muscles and careful timing, smuggling a mysterious load of crates from one side of the city to another. But can she trust the other gang? That question is nothing to the mystery of the craft that will come and pick up the goods.
