Death is no more. War, famine, and disease are gone. Earth is a paradise. But not everyone lives on Earth. On a distant planet, the Sandigan regime struggles to survive in wake of the Last War. Their goal: to revive their dead leader and return to Earth. One unsuspecting programmer on Earth can help.James Hawthorn is a socially detached researcher working for weLive, the company responsible for ending death.

To solve this, James develops a new revival method, but his research is threatened when a network hack targets him.Caught between reviving his mother and allowing his work to fall into enemy hands, James must confront the implications of his research before the Sandigan exploits it to begin a new war.
