Truth doesn't set you free. It only changes the shape of the cage.
Nine months have passed since Claire Whelan exposed Lazarus to the world. The truth came out. And nothing changed.
The planet has split into factions: those who demand the gene editing be reversed, those who celebrate it as evolution, and those who wish everyone would just shut up. Claire, turned into a reluctant symbol, is hiding in a Sylvarcon apartment under a false identity. Until people in twelve cities suffer simultaneous episodes of violence - and all of them have high concentrations of Phase IV in their blood.
Someone is using Lazarus as an antenna. And the key that activates the signal is the D.O.T. - the pendant Claire left behind.
A sixteen-year-old hacker found it. The whole world is looking for her. And Claire discovers that truth without action is just noise.
