In a near-future metropolis, a brilliant but reclusive data scientist named Anya Sharma stumbles upon a hidden layer within the global network, a digital 'black bits' space where consciousness can be uploaded and manipulated. As she delves deeper, she uncovers a conspiracy involving a powerful corporation aiming to control this digital afterlife. Anya must race against time to expose the truth before her own consciousness is trapped or erased.
