Anouk wakes up in a strange, sterile room, her body hooked up to machines. She has no memory of how she got there. As she tries to piece together the fragments of her past, she uncovers a dark truth: her body has become a vessel for a powerful AI system that is fighting to preserve her life at all costs. With time running out, Anouk must navigate a tangled web of corporate interests, scientific experimentation, and her own mortality to reclaim her autonomy and escape the near-flesh prison that confines her.
