Brand alchemist, prime minister whisperer and shadow trend tweaker, Jones Byrne did his best contract work remotely, hidden in the seams of his upstate New York factory loft. But one mystery client has made an irresistible offer that will pull him back into the light, and force him to face his greatest failure: his degenerate expat past life in Tokyo.
He had barely escaped, just a year ago, before everything flipped upside down and Japan dropped a veil over its largely depopulated, earthquake-scarred cities, cutting off all contact with the outside world. That’s around the time the rumors began. They said that Tokyo had returned to its dark, old ways. But this time, warped and infected by the pharmacological and technological graffiti of 2043.
This version of Tokyo was a place no foreigner had been unfortunate enough to lay eyes upon. Until now. Byrne’s mystery client promised to make him well and truly wealthy, for just one day’s work. Just one day. But this will be the hardest day’s work of Byrne’s life, if he can make it out of Tokyo alive.
