An AI inhabits a human body. Targeted marketing invades a man’s life... and mind. Programmers battle their own government in cyberspace. Every day, the line between man and machine blurs. Drones replace postal workers, AI-operated cars fill the streets, and our carefully curated digital lives become as critical as our actual ones. How do unchecked technological advances shape us? How do we shape them? Does humanity still have time to choose our own future or is it too late?

Guns, flesh, lives; everything is for sale in Luckhaven, and Zeke has made a living running it all. Each night, he treads the line between purchased loyalties and black-market greed. Delila is an orphan who has seen too much, and her conscience won’t let her forget. And with no future promised to her, she has nothing left to lose. Brought together by a trail of bodies and a stolen data chip, they find themselves drawn towards a secret that neither may want to learn.

The world around might be slowly dying, but Zeke's life is going well. He has more work than ever, and even feels he's doing a decent job raising Delila. Perhaps there's some hope for his future in a city where most die young.
