In the not-too-distant future, the world is divided into two sectors; the privileged live in Sector One, a place where there's no crime, while in Sector Two there's a daily struggle for food and shelter and violent crime is a regular occurrence. When a low-level cop, Aiden Magnusson, solves an infamous crime, he is promoted to Sector One and used as a "poster boy" of success. But his newly established status and lavish life is jeopardised when the central computer system that governs his city accuses him of murder; "The system is never wrong and the DNA never lies", so they say. Now Aiden must return to the ruins he once called home to solve the mystery and prove his innocence.
