Alone in a new city, far from friends and family, Jackie's only real human contact is her neighbor: Connor, a troubled young man with six figures' worth of military hardware grafted onto his body. As Jackie and Connor bond over their efforts to jailbreak Connor's mechanical arm, Jackie discovers her old life isn't quite done with her yet.
