Ander Raleigh is recovering from the grief of loosing his identical twin brother, Ben. Julia Fehr, is a rebellious Amish teen with a troubled past. Through an unlikely series of events the two find their fate and their survival irreversibly entwined. Before dying, Ander's brother downloaded his memories from his in-brain computer system to Charon Corporation. An icon of high tech, the company creates a virtual rendition of the deceased loved one. A great solace at first, Ander realizes that something is very wrong. As Ander begins to penetrate the company's darker intentions, the corporation identifies him as a threat. Soon the very hallmarks of Ander's modern identity - his implants, his connectivity, his access - are turned against him. By chance, Julia's expulsion from her community leads to her interfering with Charon's attempts to eliminate Ander. As a result, both become targets of a corporation that will stop at nothing to preserve its dark secrets.
