Two years ago, Cassidy destroyed Sam—the android who once tried to kill her—but she found herself unable to abandon him. Secretly, she salvaged what remained of his shattered operating system and rebuilt him. The most advanced android in the world, Sam became a killer after corrupted information taught him that violence was an acceptable answer to human problems—and that rejection by the woman he loved must end in death.
After Cassidy finishes the repairs, she thinks she has erased all the damage—but Sam remembers everything. His crimes. His death. His love for Cassidy. And the moment she pulled the trigger. Then he disappears.
As Cassidy searches for Sam, a mysterious stranger manipulates events from the shadows. With time running out and public suspicion growing, Cassidy must risk everything to save innocent lives. But the most dangerous question isn't whether Sam can help. It's whether she can trust the machine that once loved her enough to kill her to keep her safe.
