You step out onto the quay and the city begins to speak in paint and concrete—murals tucked into laneways, tags curled around alley doors, and gallery pieces that wink from unexpected corners. The harbor breathes around you, tide and ferry horns marking time as you follow a trail of clues left by an art thief.
