It is the near future. Most people have a cranial implant for connecting directly to the Net, brain-first. When people die, all of their thoughts, hopes, dreams, and memories are extracted via this interface and encoded in the Soul Bank. Every person is stored indefinitely and made available for anyone to visit. Many partake of this opportunity to learn from the lives and mistakes of others. But the memories are just data stored in a computer system, and one day a hacker learns how to steal those memories. Implanting them into the brains of interested buyers is just as easy, and quite profitable. Meet Jeremiah Jones: visionary, entrepreneur, sociopath. Name your dream. Name your price.

Criminals walk the streets as their innocent victims suffer. The police arrive just in time to clean up the mess, and the legal system often prevents them from even doing that. In a world descending quickly into moral depravity, it seems that Evil has won. After a botched arrest attempt, Detective Debbie Mason's life begins spiraling out of control, forcing her to question whether fighting crime at all is worth the effort. The only thing holding her together is the support from the other officers who treat her like family. But even with the entire department looking out for her, nothing could prepare Debbie for the arrival of Garrett Carmichael, a stone-cold killer sent on a mission of mass homicide by his mysterious employer.

Extreme memory loss. Appliances that are a little too smart. Mythical beasts reborn. And one joke that went way too far.
