In the future, technology has advanced to the point where people can transfer their consciousness into artificial bodies, so-called personifids - thus attempting to live forever.

Sevig Empire Corporation, Earth's leading personifid manufacturer, has secretly developed a tool to dominate these transferred humans. Aphra stumbles across sinister plans for that new technology - and now her life is in danger.

The corporation wants her silenced. Assassins, human and machine, close in. Only an outcast couple - people who still hold to an ancient faith - have the knowledge and the courage to come to her rescue. Can they prevent a great evil, or will they all be destroyed before they have the chance?
