When Renee, a Syndicate assassin, is sent to a military cyberstorage unit to destroy a datadoll, she instead finds a fully cybernetic body with the memories of her lost sister. Together, they must confront the mysterious Syndicate that controls their lives, but can Renee trust this doll? Are things truly what they appear to be?

The Scavengers have another plan for the left-over friends, but so does the mysterious killer... As each survivor’s part in this savage game of cat-and-mouse is decided, they’ll discover the true motives of those who roam the landfill and the everlasting horror that will remain.

If the world hadn’t already ended, Warren Smith would’ve become a serial killer. He was built for it cold, precise, methodical. Not driven by rage or trauma, but by a hunger for control. A creature of discipline and detachment. In the old world, he would’ve been studied. Hunted. Locked away. But the old world is long gone. Centuries ago, something broke, everything broke. Civilization collapsed under its own weight, swallowed by unchecked ambition, mass failure, and rot. The cities fell. The satellites died. People learned to fear silence because silence meant they’d been forgotten. And then, hundreds of years later, came the System. Sold as a cure. Marketed as salvation. A new architecture to stitch the ruins back together. Embedded in human minds through chips and fragments, it offered power, skills, survival. It promised to lift the desperate into something more than just broken survivors.
