FIND ME. This message and the fragmented pieces of a woman’s abduction flicker through Theia Carcey’s mind. Intrusive thoughts are nothing new for her. She’s been at war with her consciousness since childhood. The clinical term, slow processing disorder, means she’s unable to filter signal from noise and lives a life overwhelmed by sensory input—a condition she tames with vodka. This time, as visions of the woman’s pleas pierce her fog of isolation, Theia accepts she has no choice but to harness the frightening power of her mind and risk everything, including her sanity.

As she delves into the mystery, Theia’s path converges with that of Michael Dawe, a man presumed dead but actually ensnared by Dr. Barney Sheafe’s chilling experiments in digital consciousness replication. Michael escapes Sheafe with the help of Dolly, an unknown voice speaking to him using the technology inside his head. His journey collides with Theia’s as they uncover the truth about Sheafe’s work on the brains of dead people, including Dolly. When Dolly realizes her existence is threatened by this discovery, she plots to break free, killing those in her way. A battle of the minds ensues, both digital and organic, where Theia and Michael discover what the future holds for humanity when consciousness can be created–but not easily destroyed.
