Among the few remaining humans who have managed to evade Soul control, Melanie emerges as a central figure. As a member of the resistance, her struggle for survival takes her to a hotel where she attempts to lie low. However, she is soon discovered by a group of Seekers, the Soul enforcers tasked with hunting down remnants of humanity. In a desperate act, Melanie fights back but ultimately finds herself captured.
After being taken to a medical facility, Melanie is subjected to an invasive procedure designed to replace her consciousness with a Soul named Wanderer. When Melanie awakens, she discovers that her consciousness is still alive and fighting within her new body, leading to an internal battle for control.
