In the hyper-advanced metropolis of Veridian, trauma is treated as psychic clutter, extracted and edited by Memory Brokers for optimal emotional function. Kessler Vane, one of the city’s most skilled—and ethically compromised—Brokers, accepts a lucrative commission from an elderly recluse named Elias Thorne: retrieve and curate his entire memory bank. Thorne claims someone else has been selectively editing his life narrative. As Kessler digs into these manufactured memories, she begins experiencing flashes of her own forgotten past—fragments that don’t belong to her current timeline. She uncovers a conspiracy implicating the Brokerage itself in a catastrophic truth about identity and selfhood.
