Description: (cw: horror, existential nonsense, trapped consciousness) In a far future world it has been discovered how to transfer peoples consciousness'. To take a persons essence, their mind and senses and place them in something else. Though there were ways it was used for good, transferring consciousness into artificial bodies after traumatic accidents for example it was also used most often as punishment for the most heinous crimes. The process was called 'pebbling', the idea of trapping a soul in a pebble.
Wilder was a prisoner of war in a far off country, pebbled over a hundred years ago and now his soul released back to his side in an artificial body. Kali was pebbled twenty years ago for a robbery gone wrong, now released into her body brought out of suspended animation. Kason was pebbled six years ago for a crime he did not commit.
Once released they are sent to live with a woman whose job it is to rehabilitate criminals back into the world.
The horror in the story all comes from the past and the concept of pebbling. The actual story is one of recovery, redemption and friendship as three very different people learn how to live in a world they have not been part of for a long while and come to terms with their past.
