A visceral, tech-noir descent into psychological dissolution where corporate assassination via mind-possession becomes a nightmare of fractured identity and bodily horror.

Tasya Vos, an elite corporate assassin, uses brain-implant technology to take control of other people’s bodies to terminate high profile targets. As she sinks deeper into her latest assignment, Vos becomes trapped inside a mind that threatens to obliterate her.
