Immortals walk among us. Slipping into new lives, decade after decade, from Shanghai to San Francisco: Sley falls in love with a mortal; Nadia wants to bear children; Mang amasses wealth and power..Until technology threatens their ability to assume new identities. Mang builds a corporation that develops artificial intelligence and turns it into a weapon of mass terror, for if he is to be unmasked, then he must rule.
The world is vulnerable, still recovering from a week-long loss of electronic communication called the Darkout. With Nadia siding with Mang, Sley can't stop the coming catastrophe. But when Mang's AI reaches sentience, it too becomes like an immortal - with its own idea of humanity's fate.
