When thirteen year old Azaf Finah, an orphan and guardian of the State of Mylan, realizes that all his genome data is being meticulously tracked and sold by the evil corporation of EAGLE to the national military as part of a secret experiment, he decides to run away. With the help of his best friend, Lady Kreaty, an artificial intelligence imitating as a young girl from the year 2067, they embark on a long and arduous journey to travel to a place far from surveillance and oversight. By selling their data, trading valuable micro chips, and disguising themselves as migrant laborers, they are able to find food and shelter until they reach the mysterious lands of Juman.

This is a story about a boy and his best friend who go searching for answers to the most fundamental questions: Where do we come from? Where do we go from here? And the ultimate question of all: Who are we?
