For seventeen years, Jutta has lived in Volmar, a city so perfect that suffering is supposed to be impossible. Every desire is met. Every problem has a solution. Yet beneath the surface of paradise, Jutta is haunted by a crushing emptiness that no treatment, adjustment, or reprogramming can erase. Desperate for relief, he volunteers for the Refreshing—a procedure that will give him a new body. But just as the refreshing starts, he is kidnapped and thrust into a war he never knew existed. The rebels who took him believe he has a unique gift: the ability to create a virus that will bring down the system that controls the world. As powerful forces close in, Jutta must decide: save the perfect society he once called home—or help destroy it.
