In the city of urban dystopia Neocopy (in the year 2199), sixteen-year-old Aiden Huang lives the cushy life in as the son of the top executives of a pharmaceutical company. But when his life is thrown into disarray by the brutal sabotage of a rival company, he joins a group of "taggers", an anarchist collective of thieves, mercenaries, and hackers that steal, bribe, and kill to obtain the latest technology and trade secrets...for the highest bidder, of course. There, he meets the dangerous and beautiful Luna Velata, a mysterious girl with a barcode stenciled on her neck and a checkered past nobody fully knows. As he navigates the treacherous underbelly of Neocopy outside the corrupt law system governing the city, Aiden is forced into a fight of survival against the powerful, oligarchical forces that seek to destroy him. Meanwhile, he also begins to unravel the secret research his parents' company was conducting on the Bar Bar (an incredibly giant, impenetrable structure sitting in the middle of the ocean), secrets that could spell the end of Aiden's world as he knows it.

I can't keep the smile off my face as I take my seat on the plane. I slide my bag under the seat and lean back. I close my eyes and let a blissful smile grace my face. He said I wouldn't be able to run. As if. I'm vaguely aware of someone taking the seat next to mine, but I pay no attention to said person. "So where we headed?" I choke on my own spit as my eyes fly open and whirl around to face the owner of the familiar voice. His eyes are hidden behind those damn sunglasses and a rather smug smile graces his face. I continue choking and he does nothing other than flip through a magazine. That smug smile never leaving his face. "You still haven't answered the question." "To hell." I finally manage to choke out. "Awesome," He flips a page in the magazine, "It's about time I returned home. You know, bodies to burn, lost souls to torture, I've missed it. It'll be fun." *** Nicolette Moore. A name law enforcement agencies across the world know. Though no one's ever seen the face of the world's greatest thief and hacker, everyone knows who she is by name. Nicky. She's an absolute genius. Once upon a time she wasn't the best person in the world. When her family was struggling she made some bad choices to help them through it, but when she tried to get out she got pulled in deeper. Ryder Stevenson. He's the son of the director of the FBI, and an FBI Agent himself. He's the one who brings in Nicky to get her protection from the people chasing after her. He's also the one, who gets assigned to protect her. Neither one of them like each other, and they can't go five minutes without getting in a full blown argument. She's constantly ditching him only for him to show up later and prove to her he's not that easy to get rid of. They're stuck with each other whether they like it or not. But he doesn't know who she really is. What will he do when he finds out? An FBI Agent protecting THE Hacker. The one the FBI have been after for years...this just screams chaos.
