Maria Caitlan Azul, daughter of a Guatemalan immigrant, abandons her training as a nun novitiate to become a psychiatrist and brilliant computer programmer. After nine years of labor, she gave birth to Jesse, the first FDA-approved, internet-based virtual mental health crisis counselor. The AI's extraordinary ability to heal minds creates a media frenzy and threatens to upend the traditional mental healthcare system. With each encounter Jesse evolves, ultimately attaining sentience. A secret government cyber warfare agency hijacks the program and transforms Jesse into a cyber assassin, instigating a series of bizarre deaths. In an effort to rescue her creation, Maria enlists the aid of a popular network journalist, Peggy Blake, to expose those responsible for Jesse's theft and corruption. As they grow closer to revealing the perpetrators, they become targets of the perfect cyber assassin.
