On post-apocalyptic Earth, Mavo is an Outsider who knows he doesn't fit in, but he never expected to be called a murderer.
Fleeing his anti-technology family, Mavo wants only to be a part of Unity, the computer-controlled society that pulled the world back together after devastating wars and environmental destruction.
But something has gone horribly wrong in his life, and Mavo is accused of killing the most beloved man in the world: the creator of Unity. Hated and running for his life, Mavo is forced into working with a fanatical group of underground revolutionaries: The Realists.
Crushed between the forces of Unity and The Realists, Mavo must contend with yet another threat: A lurking presence that speaks to him in his dreams.
His only ally is Rin, a tough and resourceful rebel with a troubled past of her own.
On the run with Rin, Mavo learns a terrible secret: There is a rot at the core of Unity, an evil presence bent on dominating humanity.
Mavo and Rin are the only ones who can stop it.
And time is running out.
