A fast-paced cyberpunk adventure from Aurealis Award-shortlisted author DK Mok. In the seething metropolis of Baltus City, car-hacker Squid is desperate for a fresh start. She dreams of a normal life and a respectable job, where retirement comes with a pension plan, not an exit wound. Determined to break free from the criminal syndicate that commands her, she agrees to one last heist. But when she rescues a cheerful amnesiac from the trunk of a stolen car, her decision to help him sends her own plans into a tailspin. Squid and the amnesiac - soon nicknamed Grief - rapidly find themselves caught between warring criminal factions, shadowy vigilantes, and Squid's own hopes for a better future. As she investigates deeper into the mystery of Grief's true identity, Squid begins to uncover a past darker than her own, setting her on a collision course with the enigmatic crime lords who rule Baltus City.
