Lance Blackstone's father has used his son as a guinea pig in illegal
medical experiments and punishes Lance when the experiments go wrong.
His mother knows what's going on, but does nothing to stop it. And Lance
loses chunks of time. Days or even weeks sometimes pass while he sleeps.
He finds himself in strange places with no memory of how he got there.
Odd objects show up in his room and he has no idea where they come from.
Total strangers treat him like a close friend. Voices argue inside his
head. And then one of the voices speaks directly to him, a voice that
claims to belong to an artificial intelligence. Lance has a chance to
escape what his father has done to him. But first he must confront his
past and the secrets buried in his mind.
