A glitch in the arm’s artificial intelligence makes her sleepwalk. Meanwhile, children of CyberCorp employees start dying in their beds, and thanks to her unwanted nighttime strolls, Lena has no alibi.
Is she a target? A suspect? Lena literally can't sleep at night until she proves her innocence—or her guilt.
