Klassische Agenten-Spionage trifft Zukunftstechnologien: Der Blade Runner einer neuen Generation. 200 Jahre in der Zukunft. Androiden leben als gewöhnliche Bürger unter den Menschen, außer in der isolierten Diktatur der Kaspischen Republik: Hier hat man jegliche künstliche Intelligenz verboten. Als Lily Xirau, die Witwe des ermordeten politischen Propagandisten Paulo Xirau, ins Land kommt, um seine Überreste zu identifizieren, bekommt Agent Nikolai South den Auftrag, sie zu eskortieren.

In the future, AI are everywhere - over half the human race lives online. But in the Caspian Republic, the last true human beings have made their stand, and now the repressive one-party state is locked in perpetual cold war with the outside world. Security Agent Nikolai South is given a seemingly mundane task: escorting a dead journalist's widow while she visits the Caspian Republic to identify her husband's remains.

When propagandist Paulo Xirau dies and is discovered to himself be a "machine", State Security Agent Nikolai South is given a new assignment he could hardly want less: chaperone the widow, Lily, the only "machine" visitor ever invited from the outside world, and help her determine what happened to her husband. Nikolai knows it will be nearly impossible to complete the job without running afoul of the Party - but when he sees that Lily bears an eerie resemblance to his late wife, Nikolai stumbles on a larger plot.
