Hong Kong, near future. Oedipus heads AIonAI, one of the most powerful artificial intelligence multinationals in the world. A crisis strikes the city — unexplained disappearances, a creeping dread. All trails lead to AIonAI.

Oedipus investigates. The oracle — an artificial intelligence accessible only through an Ethics Committee — points to an older cause: an unsolved murder at the very origin of the company. Tiresias, an old AI researcher everyone has forgotten, knows things. Jocasta, Oedipus's wife, once had a son who was abandoned at birth.

To understand, Oedipus will have to revisit his own story — a crossroads, an old man killed, a childhood he thought he knew. Where the myth has been waiting for him.
