Sarah Vance died. Then she woke up in a body that wasn't hers.

Her mind was captured at the moment of death and loaded into synthetic flesh — and now the men who built the machine that took her want her back. She's not their prisoner. She's their antenna.

Silas Clobery spent a century wiring the world with anchors: hidden relays that catch human consciousness before it can dissipate. For decades the network slept. It isn't sleeping anymore. A house in San Pedro has started receiving, and Sarah is the last component the transmission needs.

Her partner Mark Chen has one shot at pulling her out before the circuit closes. But beneath Highway 71, in the Texas dark where the first frequency was opened, something has been waiting a very long time for someone exactly like her.

Inspired by the 1989 San Pedro Haunting — one of the most violently documented poltergeist cases in American history.
