In this poignant tale from the deep future, two very different descendants of humanity are drawn into each other's lives by an ancient power and an act of rebellious compassion.

The spirits- Melody, Carnage and Terror- have lived together since the creation of the world, in the shared mindspace of the spiritmen.

But when one of their young meatdaughters is captured by an alien pod and fitted with a chip that can speak any language, a fourth voice enters the spirits' domain, a voice stirred to life by the kindness of an alien Kid, a voice to challenge the spirits: GRIT.
