IDENTITY IS A COMMODITY. SURVIVAL IS A SURGERY.

Sara Everston was halfway through the process of disappearing when she realized she’d been sold a faulty map.

The rendezvous was supposed to be a transition point—a graveyard of rusted industry where her old life ended and her anonymity began. But in the metallic soup of the container yard, there is no passport waiting for her. There is only a face.

The mask is a masterpiece of surgical silicone: heavy, warm, and unsettlingly damp. It is textured with the microscopic pores and ghost-faint capillaries of her twin sister, Clara. It feels less like a disguise and more like a trophy freshly peeled from a living host. The instructions are a flat, unmodulated hum: to survive the next stop, Sara must wear her sister’s skin.

Caught in a web of corporate surveillance and industrial decay, Sara is forced into a predatory game where the lines between sister and stranger, victim and witness, are being surgically erased. Stepping into Clara’s identity is the only way to escape the shadow—but in a world that documents every elapsed second, becoming someone else might be the most intimate kind of execution.
