All over Kansas City, androids are behaving strangely—with acts of vandalism and violence. Simon and Lucas are on the case, but Lucas is disturbed by the implications.
Is there a common link between the incidents or are they just random aberrations?
When Lucas's Maker, Dr. Livia Connelly, is abducted and her assistant killed, the Chief assigns a task force to track down those responsible and stop the android outbreak.
Simon finds himself caught between a partner gone rogue in his determination to stop it and higher-ups concerned about increasing public scrutiny of their only android officer.
