After a mysterious explosion, strange codes begin appearing across quantum engineer Lin Xia's retinas, drawing her into an abyss where reality and virtuality intertwine. When black threads pour out of servers and silver data streams shimmer in her colleagues' pupils, she discovers that the so-called “network intrusion” comes from an existence beyond dimensions. A face flickering in the torrent of data, eerie blue liquid seeping from the laboratory, and glowing code racing wildly beneath her skin all reveal that the world's underlying logic has already collapsed.
At the moment an electromagnetic pulse gun clashes with eerie symbols, she is forced to become the “Gatekeeper” connecting reality to a rift in the data. When the white light of the purge program swallows everything, will she find salvation in the truth, or an even deeper conspiracy? Technology and the occult collide, reality and virtuality tear apart, and an ultimate struggle to rewrite human understanding is quietly unfolding in a world of zeroes and ones.
