In the future, addiction isn't treated - it's contained.
Across the country, massive compounds hold millions of addicts trapped inside brutal economies controlled by drug dealers known as the Chem Lords.
To reach people inside these dangerous zones, the outside world created Proxy Interventionists - specialists who enter the compounds through synthetic avatar bodies that can be destroyed without killing the human controlling them.
Silas Vale is one of the best.
He has died fourteen times in the line of duty... but none of those deaths were his.
Inside Compound Nine, Silas meets Mara Wren - an addict who refuses rescue and believes escape is impossible.
But when the system tightens its grip and the proxy body is no longer enough, Silas makes an impossible choice.
He crosses the wall himself.
Now hunted by the Chem Lords and trapped inside the most dangerous place in the world, Silas must prove something Mara no longer believes:
That recovery is possible.
That redemption still exists.
And that love can find a way home.
