Most people would kill to escape death row. Meredith Dufresne - marked as 'compliant and charming' and a 'low risk inmate' in her stellar incarceration record, thank you very much - signs her life over to Thanatos Industries instead for the chance to terminate her sentence.The job: taming a highly aggressive malignant AI.The catch: it's already killed 23 of its previous hosts.Meredith isn't stupid. Thanatos Industries is playing a dangerous game, and she's an expendable piece. She can't gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss her way out of this situation alone - and the bloodthirsty AI jammed in her skull can't mansplain, manipulate, manslaughter his way to freedom without her.The solution: team up with the highly aggressive malignant AI and hope he doesn't fry her in the process.What's a little brain damage in the grand scheme of things, anyway?
