Using false identities, Christmas and Kurau flee to Los Angeles. They discover a Rynax energy plant nearby and Kurau decides to investigate. However the GPO has managed to follow them to LA, and the pair find themselves cornered by the GPO.
In a world of mercenary agents, Kurau is a martial arts master and elite thief—but she has a secret. Her body has been fused with a binary alien life form called the Rynax. Every moment Kurau lives is lived twice, one alien sharing her consciousness, the other still waiting to be born. The truth about Kurau has begun to spread, and now the ultimate agent is the ultimate target.
