Not so far in the future, in our very own galaxy... nothing much has changed. No robot apocalypse, no flying cars. Orion and his group of hackers and thieves live a simple life: do jobs that are fun, don't get caught.  It would be quite easy if there wasn't that one friend that disappeared five years ago. The friend that worked on some top secret research on brain activity for the government. The friend that they've been looking for, without avail.  As Orion and his friends finally pick up on a trail, they quickly find themselves involved in something much larger than one missing person.  WARNING: This work contains explicit violence, mentions of abuse, and other potentially disturbing content.
