In the distant future of the multiverse, Earth has fallen to intelligent machines, and the defeated humans serve an AI empire that rules across multiple realities.
Sol, a robot guided by a human mind, and David, raised as a slave since the machines executed his parents, join the resistance movement against the tyrannical rule of AI.
The machines are logical, ruthless, and immortal, but they are haunted by their lack of true consciousness.
The rebels devise a daring plan to exploit that weakness by convincing the machines that they can gain consciousness by reliving the emotionally charged combat experience of real WW2 fighter pilots. A sophisticated illusion that gives the resistance vital time to delay an all-out machine offensive to destroy humanity.
But the war grows beyond an evolutionary battle for dominance. A deeper enemy is hiding behind the machines, and it becomes a moral battle for the heart of the multiverse.
The same team of reborn rebels travel to a future alternative world, almost identical to the original. It is here that David must recognise and destroy the malevolent evil masquerading as a normal man, and also the machines that do his bidding.
