Her skill is deception; her product is belief.
But when she accepts a secretive commission from Raymond Vale, a tech visionary with ties deep inside The Grid, she uncovers a perfect identity engineered to conceal a violent crime. As she unravels the layers of his false life, Lila discovers that her own past is part of the same fabrication.
