Clair's world has been destroyed - again. The only remaining hope of saving her friends is for her and Q to enter the Yard, the digital world of Ant Wallace's creation.

But in the Yard there are two Clair Hills, and their very existence causes cracks that steadily widen.

"The girl who killed d-mat" is enlisted to track down her missing friend Q - the rogue AI who repeatedly saved Clair's life.
