A life of foster care and packed bags has taught Mara that nothing is permanent, especially not a home. But when a mysterious organization offers her a place in their elite program, complete with housing, education, and a chance at stability, the price is a neural implant that promises to unlock her full potential. This isn't just a new school; it's an experiment, a system designed to integrate with her very thoughts and senses. As Mara navigates the unsettling reality of a chip in her head and the hidden motives of her benefactors, she must decide if the promise of a future is worth surrendering control of her own mind. Can she truly escape her past when her every move is being monitored, and her own consciousness is no longer entirely her own?
