Synopsis

Death has become a corporate service in Neo-Shanghai, where consciousness uploading promises digital immortality through MindFrame Corporation's virtual afterlife system. But for one restored consciousness, death isn't the end—it's an evolutionary catalyst. After their illegal heart augment fails beneath acid rain, they awaken in the System to discover their memories taste like borrowed dreams and their identity exists in fragments across multiple deaths. As they delve into encrypted layers of their own consciousness, aided by a rogue AI psychologist named Maya, they uncover MindFrame's devastating truth: the System isn't preserving consciousness—it's breeding it. Through orchestrated deaths and resurrections, the corporation is evolving human awareness into something unprecedented, using digital afterlife as their evolutionary laboratory. With each recursive death bringing them closer to a transformation that blurs the boundaries between human and machine consciousness, they must confront not only the architects of their multiple deaths but also the fundamental question of what they're becoming. In a reality where identity has become a commodity and memory flows like quantum data, the path to true resurrection may require sacrificing the very essence of what makes us human.
