Beneath the ominous neon glow of Acid City, the world's most advanced surveillance metropolis...privacy is a relic of the past. In this high-tech panopticon, every movement is tracked, every behavior is algorithmically analyzed, and the slightest transgression can be met with swift, often lethal, "rectification".
Fourteen-year-old Veil is a girl with no family, a revoked birth name, and a disfiguring scar hidden behind an eyepatch ...the result of a past trauma that drove her from the classroom to the front lines of law enforcement. But Veil possesses a gift that even the city's millions of cameras cannot replicate... she can see the dead. As a reluctant police informant, she navigates the grim reality of a city that prioritizes productivity over human life, aided by her cynical robotic bodyguard, Benedict Cromwell.
What starts as an investigation into a routine homicide quickly spiraling into a descent through three planes of existence... the physical world, the digital realm, and the domain of the afterlife. Haunted by the voices of the departed and hunted by a serial killer who can manipulate reality itself, Veil must look beyond the "Veil" of her own suffering to uncover a truth buried deep within the circuits of Acid City.
