Working in a near future where climate change has hit and hit hard, Sarah and JanetN, a human/AI research team. Their boring work for small businesses is disrupted when a friend/ex-lover vanishes; he was always a shady character. A major climate disruption in Southeast Asia has put the world into full food insecurity. There is great social distress over how much of America's bounty should be committed. A black-market gang has hijacked a grain shipment intended for the devastated area. This action could endanger thousands of faraway people. Our team thinks this gang is responsible for the disappearance of their friend too. The friend's family offer to pay our team's fee even if it is only to give the body a proper burial. The hunt is on.

Sarah does not trust him and has no patience for such monsters.Soon after, two policemen arrive at Sarah's house to inform her that Winestead was found dead not twenty minutes after they met.
