In the era of cloning, everyone has a backup, but Locke is the one who is born with the "only copy".
When a clone robber commits a crime with a face identical to his own, he instantly becomes the city's most wanted criminal.
To prove his innocence, he pried open the skull of the robber's corpse, only to find a mysterious genetic code.
He was ambushed while escaping, and when he was about to die, he actually read the attacker's memory - the other party shared exactly the same memory fragments as himself.
He was shocked to realize that all clones were derived from his only original template.
And the forces chasing him need his unique book as the source of sustainable cloning.
