After an accomplished career as an FBI agent, Juan McCormack believes he's ready to catch his thirteenth serial killer. He's found links between close-and-shut cases where the perpetrator is in a sleepwalking state and kills an unsuspecting victim, only for the perpetrator to die eventually as well. He believes there is someone puppeteering these perceived perpetrators by manipulating their CVP or "consensual visage projectors" and their Link. As the novel is set well into the future, humans now have the capability of changing their outward appearance instantaneously and searching for anything via their Link.

Despite McCormack's insistence that there is a dangerous killer on the loose, he is fired and has to go rogue to investigate. There, he meets Dominique, the only known "perpetrator" to survive after killing her victim. To clear Dominique's name and restore McCormack's reputation, they decide to take down whatever is lurking digitally in the shadows.
