It's about Tallie Perrault, an investigative journalist who thinks she's uncovered some game-changing information about Jinteki, a corporate juggernaut who monopolises the production of artificial clones for the artificial-workforce market. Her information about where the cloning technology really came from could pose a powerful threat to Jinteki, but predictably the corporation, wealthy, powerful and used to getting its own way, has stopped at nothing to deal with this threat.
