But when she begins secretly buying back her clients’ discarded memories to relive them herself, she uncovers something impossible a memory that belongs to no one.
A memory that shows her own death.
As Mara searches for the truth behind the corrupted file, she becomes entangled in the dark network of Mercury, the artificial intelligence that controls the global trade of human experience.
