Picked to lead a pilot programme that has her paired with AIDE (Artificial Intelligence Detective Entity) Lock, Kat's instincts come up against Lock's logic.

Was unterscheidet Mensch und Maschine? Die verwitwete Ermittlerin Kat kennt sich mit Verlust aus, Vermisstenfälle sind ihre Spezialität. Auf ihre untrüglichen Instinkte und ihr Bauchgefühl kann sie sich verlassen. Nun wird ihr im Rahmen eines Pilotprojekts der Polizei eine künstliche Intelligenz zur Seite gestellt, die in Form eines Hologramms in Erscheinung tritt und auf nüchternen Datenanalysen basiert. Locks regelkonforme, logikorientierte Art kollidiert mit Kats intuitivem Vorgehen, und doch sollen sie gemeinsam alte Vermisstenfälle lösen, um die Einsatzfähigkeit von KIs im Polizeidienst zu erproben.
