Serial – Garth’s Actions

Garth’s Actions is a grim and emotionally charged tale of survival, transformation, and loss. Set in the dilapidated streets of Brassvale, known to locals as Blenc, the story follows seven-year-old Jahnny as he navigates a life shaped by his father’s vices. After being subjected to his father Garth’s desperate schemes to escape mounting debt, Jahnny’s life spirals out of control when he becomes a pawn in a series of horrifying events. From gang violence and forced medical experiments to discovering his newfound abilities, Jahnny’s journey is one of pain, resilience, and the haunting cost of power.
