By 2090, Earth has shifted toward a fully genetically enhanced society. Corporations like Geno Futures and Reborn Technology are rewriting the pre-birth blueprint for those willing—and able—to pay. But for the elite, these upgrades are only phase one. They're awaiting The Reset, a digitized utopia, promising permanence beyond mortality reserved only to the rich and powerful in a digital eternity of their own making while the rest of the world serves beneath them. An engineered afterlife where every sensation is simulated, every thought monitored, and the boundaries of identity dissolve into code. Here, the elite rewriting death as a feature of control, and eternity as a tool of domination.
Young, brilliant, and genetically remade with intent, Emerald is a rising geneticist working at Reborn Technology. She believes she’s helping desperate families give their children a fighting chance in an increasingly divided world of inequality. But beneath the allure of genetic upgrades lies something far more sinister—an insidious framework of control at birth. While genes are being rewritten, a darker system is being coded in the shadows, one that doesn’t stop at birth but hijacks death itself. Reborn’s resequencing is only the foundation. What comes next threatens to dismantle autonomy for future generations entirely.
Everything changes when Emerald and her team explore a hidden cave and uncover a cryo-preserved civilization. Among thousands of sealed chambers, they find one occupant who looks exactly like Emerald—genetically identical. That single revelation fractures everything she thought she knew about herself. The girl in stasis isn’t just her twin. She’s a remnant of a long-forgotten wave of dimensional immigration—sent for a purpose neither of them fully understands. As their minds begin to reconnect, a greater truth emerges.
Together, the sisters expose a shadowy alliance between biotech visionary Blaze Arson and powerful billionaire Jack Reese, who envision a future where immortality is sold by subscription—and where the populace is biologically rewritten to serve the needs of The Reset. As rebellion brews and the illusion of order begins to collapse, Emerald must come to terms with her origin, her power, and her complicity in the very machine she helped build. She becomes the final word in who gets to shape the future—and who gets to live free… or forever.
