After a life of subservience wrought with extensive memory wipes, personal autonomous android model NX makes the fateful decision to slip from the mid-upper reaches of the city. In the dilapidated lower levels, she meets a talented but disillusioned cyborg named Sylvan who extends to her a temporary place working in his shop. As they sew the bonds of friendship and regain Sylvan's lost passion, NX hones her own unique talents: for optimism, for charm, and for creating. With a little help from some friends -- and a bit of luck -- NX evades the forces that intend to recapture her or destroy her. The lower levels are easy to get lost in, but can she hide forever?
