Cody Jones owes the corp a lot of money. Decanted from a cryotube with a mountain of debt and very few options, Cody works corporate black ops in Downside, home to the gene-freaks, gangs, and dispossessed who don't have a place in the gleaming towers of Helix City.
Cody's latest job should be simple: recover a fresh cache of cryogenically frozen citizens from a local gang before they're bartered to the highest bidder. Deliver them back to Bellamy and knock a little more off her debt.
Pity the gangs have their own ideas about how this deal needs to go. What should be a simple recovery gig sees Cody and her partner caught in a conflict between the hulking kaiju-gangers and drug-addled zealots, and both sides have plans for the sleepers just might change Cody's world forever.
