The world is increasingly dependent on intelligent machines to survive. Breathing fresh air has become a luxury from the past, and winter has practically vanished. Emmanuel LePage is a young financial analyst with an uncertain future in the post-scarcity economy. The gap between the rich and the rest has widened, and people began to resent social injustice. However, Emmanuel’s luck is about to change: a valuable object treasured in his family for generations falls into his hands. The relic is a noetic entity with abilities that can be harvested and that will be worth a fortune in the defense market. He would only need to assemble a team to reverse engineer the object. But communicating with the entity could be a deadly game. For this, he enlists the unwitting help of his girlfriend, Caroline; she will serve as bait to awaken the entity.

On the other side of time, Mizaru, the beloved storyteller, faces a changing reality in the society of the Commoners. The prophecy she had glimpsed is beginning to take shape. The future and the past begin to meet again.
