In the galaxy spanning Illustrious Human Empire, the citizenry's lives are connected and controlled by The Wall. After Rember's life is ruined by the uncaring, automated system, he discovers he possesses the ability to control it with his mind.
But Rember is not the only person with this ability. A group of criminals, dubbed Links, wish to bring The Wall crashing down using this power. Before long Rember finds himself pulled into the conflict between these Links, and the shadowy government agency tasked with keeping The Wall safe.
Unbeknownst to both sides, there is a third faction moving the pieces towards their own goal. An ancient enemy of humanity has resurfaced, and intends to turn the empire's greatest defense into its inescapable prison. It is up to Rember, who has a secret of his own, to stop all three factions from ripping the galaxy apart.
