Description

IN A TECH-DRIVEN FUTURE, CONTROL OVER A WIRELESS TECH WHICH ALLOWS THE CREATION OF DIGITAL PERSONALITY UPLOADS AFTER DEATH LEADS FOUR GENERATIONS OF POWERFUL WOMEN TO SOME HARD, DIFFICULT TRUTHS.

At first, family matriarch Sarah Stephens and her daughter Diana Landreth appear to agree on just how they're going to manage that unexplainable, destructive, city-killing device called the Gizmo. The Corporate Courts appear to be an elegant solution to the problem. No one knows the Gizmo's origins, but everyone agrees--the Gizmo must never, ever be allowed to run free again.

Or do they?

As Sarah seeks political power as North America disintegrates into chaos, Diana's path leads her down a different way. Once Sarah becomes a digital personality upload, the choice of Diana as her host seems logical in the beginning.

But Diana's daughter Melanie Fielding starts seeing problems with the acrimonious relationship of Diana and Sarah. Her alliance with Diana begins to change when she realizes that Diana will place the Corporate Courts over the well-being of Melanie's daughter Bess.

The unlikely collaboration between Melanie and her brother Andrew Landreth-Stephens becomes more critical when they agree that protecting their children from whatever schemes the Gizmo is cooking up must be their priority.

Because the Gizmo has plans of its own...which may not be good for humanity in the long run.
