With allies like the resourceful security expert Raj and a network of renegades, Lumi races against time to expose the truth and protect humanity's most precious possession-their memories. In a world where the past can be erased and the future rewritten, Lumi must decide: how much is she willing to sacrifice to preserve the integrity of what makes us human?
