A microchip containing what was thought to be a flaw reveals its miraculous potential to Adam Pollard and his research team. Under magnification, the flaw becomes a mysterious oval ring that lends its power to other systems, producing extraordinary results. When the oval from one chip is juxtaposed with another in Virtual Reality hardware, life forms appear in a parallel existence, and Adam is able to interact telepathically through its Watchman. One byproduct of this technology is a telepathic communications device called telp which replaces cell phones. Meanwhile real world threats from a South American drug cartel, a mob boss in Detroit and the betrayal of a team member sober Adam to the fact that there are those who will stop at nothing to destroy him. While protecting the chip's closely guarded secrets, Adam realizes that his possession of it is not accidental and that he has been part of an age-old selection process.Ultima pushes everyone toward the universal complexities that await beyond the life they know; that are wonderful yet fearful.
