Street rat and adept courier Merrick Yueh is forced to see  their wretched existence crumble when a system overload infiltrates their neural implants one fateless morning. Waking up to disconcerting sounds and a mental haze, Merrick begins to grapple with the realization that their thoughts are no longer their own, and might even be for more people to see than they like. 

The initially unsettling whisper in their neural implant slowly transforms into a frustrating voice with an incredibly distinct personality, challenging the tiny speck of Merrick's remaining sanity. Struggling with their thoughts being broadcasted, Merrick stumbles upon a broader conspiracy as other cases of a similar apparent psychosis emerge in the streets of New Vertigo. Navigating the treacherous urban landscape where the line between reality and augmentation blurs, Merrick and their friends try to unveil  the truth behind these neural malfunctions and confront the voice threatening to consume their identity.

But the voice in their head might prove to be a friend, after all. And heavens know Merrick can use all the friends they get.
