In the near future, Tokyo's night sky is illuminated by LED screens. One five-story-tall display shows a woman placing a small device behind her ear. A voice declares, "Want to become a new you? Meet MYTHER—the device that will design your perfect self and make all your dreams come true." Elsewhere, inside one of those buildings, a brutal and inexplicable murder is taking place. Japan's shining landscape is filled with beautiful people, thanks in part to Ideva, the company behind the Myther. At the forefront of AI technology, this curved metal device contains a custom-built neural interface meant to help users become their ideal selves and eliminate their weaknesses. But it's becoming clear that something is going wrong. Kyo, an agent from the top-secret National Special Intelligence Office, has been assigned to investigate a series of bloody deaths, all seemingly connected to the device that has changed his world. Yet how can he protect the public when those in power only want to cover it up, and everyone's loyalty is uncertain?
