America in the near future, classism rules and there is a vast separation between the privileged and the poor. The vain and wealthy purchase the desirable physical traits of the lower class, for grafting on to their own bodies. Arms, legs, hands, eyes, throats and mouths are all subject to surgical removal and purchase. Any lower class child showing aptitude is subject to commodification. Parents who have the means clone their children for spare parts. The poor are referred to as donors.A desperate artist has sold his arms and his heart has been stolen, both replaced with mechanical analogs. Now he must chase the vicious and mysterious Camille through their treacherous world in a desperate attempt to be whole again. Physical contact is illegal and procreation is regulated by the government. Sexual deviants are relocated to interment camps. Faith and physical gratification have become one in an act of rebellion. Sexuality, gender, oppression, spirituality, privilege, rebellion and love are the weapons 13 must harness as he searches for completion, in a race to find Camille and become whole.
