Rewind

There's no such thing as a stranger.

For as long as anyone can remember, the System's identity recognition program has brought safety and comfort to System City, feeding them the identities of those around them through a chip in their brain. That is until the System is corrupted by a virus, scrambling names and throwing the city into chaos.

With identities shuffling every few hours, tensions rise around the city, forcing leaders to find a scapegoat. Who better to blame than the hundreds of unwanted and unmistakable orphan girls, known as Haydens? Inevitably, as prominent figures begin to publicly stoke hatred, a general distrust of Haydens grows into violent disdain.

One of those orphans, Haddy Hayden, isn't affected by the ever-mixing identities, not since an accident "fried" her chip and cut her off from the System entirely. Now, it's up to Haddy to find the person responsible for corrupting the System and to bring them to justice before ignorant mobs kill them all.
