The year is 2045. Nearly thirty years have passed since a devastating nuclear terrorist attack that changed the world forever. The population of Britain is kept in-line by Mother Mind; an advanced artificial intelligence created by the Virtualife Corporation monitoring the lives of its citizens. Machines have become more humanlike, and humans more machine like. The gap between rich and poor has grown ever wider, resulting in a split in the species: humans and cybernetically-enhanced Transhumans. Hatred for the transhumans race has created a monster; Jack-21. A serial killer, dissecting cyborgs for their implants. But his latest victim is not just another street rat, but rather a member of the renegade hacker group; Spiritform. The one's responsible for a cyberattack on Virtualife that has sent shockwaves throughout the corporate world. The secret he was murdered for lie within a collection of stolen files. Now the race is on to uncover those secrets. Two corporate police officers from competing companies work together to hunt down Jack-21. Meanwhile Virtualife hires a private investigator to recover their stolen data, before the surviving members of Spiritform decrypt the files and reveal the truth.
