In games of betrayal everyone loses. Arlo and Drienne are ‘mades’—clones of company executives, deemed important enough to be saved should their health fail.

But when the impossible happens and the too-big-to-fail company that owns them collapses, Arlo and Drienne find themselves purchased by a scientist who has a job for them. The reward: Debt paid off, freedom from servitude, and enough cash to last a lifetime. The job: Infiltrate a highly secure corporate reclamation facility in the heart of dead London and steal a data drive. They’re going to need a team.
