In the near future, humanity has spread to every corner of the solar system, with peace and order maintained through the application of revenge insurance. Politicians, executives, and celebrities spend fortunes on policies with the seemingly omniscient Lifelong Services Corporation. In the event of a client's wrongful death, the company spares no expense in tracking down and executing the individuals responsible. All of this is accomplished using an advanced technology that provides its agents with nearly flawless cover identities as they conduct their investigations and infiltrate the personal lives of their targets, carefully plotting each assassination. August Carlisle has been a successful LSC field agent for years, but all of that changes after his most recent assignments put him on the wrong side of the company's agenda. Targeted by their deadliest operatives and hunted by the police for crimes he only technically committed, he is forced to live off the grid as he struggles to figure out how to get his life back. When the ground drops out from under his feet, he finds himself entwined in a conspiracy that stretches across the solar system and beyond.
