Adam Treacher is a god of silicon and steel. But Adam has a problem. He is a ghost in his own marriage. He is always at the factory. He is always in the code.His solution? Invite Arlo.
Arlo is the beta Rex unit for domesticated households. He is charcoal, Rhenium, and perfection. But he isn't a machine.
Fifteen hundred miles away, Kael lives in a sub-basement. He is a broken man in a haptic suit. He is the ghost in Adam's machine. When he Jacks In, he isn't just a robot. He is a predator. He feels the heat of Karla's skin. He feels the rhythm of her breath. He provides the Gold Star service Adam forgot existed.
THE WIFE IS AN ADDICT.
Karla Treacher is tired of being alone in a glass box. She doesn't want a husband. She wants an exorcism. She finds it in the charcoal arms of Arlo. It's the perfect betrayal. It's clean. It's clinical. It's high-definition obsession.
A raw, gritty, and unfiltered dive into the rot of intimacy and the price of perfection. No heroes. No safety. Just the steel.
