After 8 - year - old Bo loses his mother in a tragic accident his white father attempting to hold their lives together begins to gradually retreat from the family. 28 - year - old Brandon loses his job at a legacy magazine publisher and is offered a new position. Confused to find himself in an apartment he does not recognize and an office he sometimes cannot remember leaving he comes to suspect that something far more sinister is happening behind the walls. 48 - year - old Blue participates in a television expose of Flux a failed bioelectric tech start - up whose fraudulent activity eventually claimed the lives of three people and nearly killed him. Blue who can only speak with the aid of cybernetic implants stalks his old manager while holding his estranged family at arms - length. Intertwined with the saga of a once - iconic 80s detective show Raider whose star has fallen after decades of concealed abuse the lives of Bo Brandon and Blue intersect with each other to the extent that it becomes clear that their lives are more interconnected and interdependent than the reader could have ever imagined.
