Gale, a lead programmer for Hy_Brain, is timid but talented in her field. A solitary woman in a highly connected environment where people no longer utilise external devices to facilitate their digital needs, instead they opt for a neural implant, Hy_Brain. Once synced, the digital world is only a thought away. The lonely routine of her work and the sterility of her life leave Gale desiring human connection. Someone to love and be loved by, someone to grow and experience life with...enter Bailey.

Bailey is what's missing from Gale's life, bringing her out of her shell and showing her how special she is.

Suddenly on top of the world and in love, everything is perfect, until one day Gale inexplicably collapses. Andrew, a friend and work colleague, runs a diagnostic identifying a virus in her Hy_Brain... Bailey. An update error who has infected Gale.

Deleting Bailey is the only option. Gale is faced with the choice of either dying for love, or living alone.
