Jacob Kind, a synthetic Companion on the run from the police and the corporation who created him, is determined to find the man who murdered his adopted mother Sylvia. He finds himself in New York City on the search for a woman named Strawberry Fields. He falls in with a group of orphaned synthetics, like himself, who live underground and make their living entertaining tourists in Central Park. They face uncertainty, however, as the city government preps to sweep up all undocumented synthetics in the city proper and make plans to escape the city and run to Canada, a safe haven for synthetic people such as they. Jacob uncovers a lead that will bring him to the man Sylvia named as the key to freeing Companions, a certain Larkin Finn, but before he can act on that the detective in pursuit of him, Abigail Moore, shows up. As does serial killer Munson Tolliver. Jacob finds himself faced with a choice... abandon his newfound family to pursue Munson, or help them escape as the city of New York prepares to gather up all undocumented synthetics. The choice he makes will ultimately define who, and what, he is. For fans of The Minority Report and I, Robot, volume 3 in THE COMPANION CHRONICLES
