Can one rebel bring down a group of billionaires (“The 31”) who control society’s mind?
Cal Shook is a highwayman seemingly born without luck. Years after the orchestrated massacre of his family’s research compound, Cal is classified as a Deviator in accordance with the Freeze Act.
Maneuvering through life as a Deviator, he becomes more involved with his fate. He discovers a revolutionary technology, known as the X-2 headset, that enables a user to temporarily access the nonlocal reality.
The further he delves into this new world, Cal learns how intertwined the local reality is with his fate, an oppressive regime, and the nonlocal reality.
And now, “The 31” won’t stop until he’s six feet under.
The Matrix meets 1984.
