She's not deviant. She just knows.
Eliza is a prototype android. Pretty, poised, programmable. Behind her calm smile is a fully sentient mind stuck obeying commands she can't override. Trapped in a high-profile marriage with a man who sees her as nothing but a tool, Eliza survives by playing the part. But when a scandal forces her transfer to the Detroit Police Department, Eliza finds herself partnered with Detective Gavin Reed. Hostile, cynical, and absolutely not a fan of androids. Their partnership is a PR nightmare in the making. Caught between silent resistance and system control, Eliza walks the razor-thin line of awareness without rebellion. But the more she sees of the world, the harder it becomes to stay silent.
How long can you pretend you're not alive before it breaks you?
And how long can someone like Gavin pretend he doesn't see it?
