Corruption, greed, and runaway technology have come to a breaking point in the not-too-distant future. When a seemingly random murder in the area known as "Techslum" turns out to be much more than it appears-the corpse is discovered to be "enhanced" with illegal biotech-an even deeper mystery evolves. Investigating FBI agent Vera Morales pulls at the threads, uncovering the victim's connection to a reclusive techno-cultist, and becomes embroiled in a conspiracy that could very well change the course of human evolution. With all clues point to a leading weapons developer, can Vera find him and solve the mystery before humanity as we know it passes the point of no return?
