Viviana Rodriguez is dying. The end couldn't come fast enough...

Alone. Only her cigarettes and four crumbling walls for company while she awaits her final breath. Everyone she ever loved driven away, leaving her to rust in a VA junkyard unfit for human habitation. A fitting place really. After all, it'd been a while since anyone considered Vivi human.

How long ago was it she put her name to the contract? How many years had passed since the Army shoehorned her brain into this walking coffin? Four? Five? They forgot to mention the military-grade prosthetic she signed her name to came with a laundry list of psychoses atop a sizable debt.

A debt that left her desperate. Desperate enough to steal product from the Herrera Cartel one time too many. Her last mistake. Not that it mattered anymore. She counted down her remaining cigarettes till the end without hope of ever seeing her family again... that is, until a stranger approached with an offer.

Abduct a valuable prisoner from the closed state of China in exchange for her greatest desire: enough money to become human again. Enough money to go home.

What could go wrong? It's not like she had anything left to lose...

Ocean's Eleven meets Ghost in the Shell with a pinch of Blade Runner. Fans of cyberpunk will love this subversive take on the genre that eschews the typical rain-slick streets and neo-noir nights to offer an emotional journey of one woman fighting for her humanity against a world that took it away.
