Synopsis

Jason Taverner is a famous television star with thirty million viewers, until he wakes one morning to find that no record of his existence remains in any database. Stripped of identity in a near-future American police state, he must navigate a world of checkpoints and genetic surveillance while struggling to understand how and why he was erased.
