As a Porter, Bishop's primary job profile is decrypting synergists used in the development of Matrix for the brain. A support mechanism which allows the brain to thrive in the new world the human race find themselves, one which has suffered major depletion as a result of man's zest for development, hence, the exodus to Phase I--formerly called the moon.

But not everyone left for Phase I.

Somewhere in the highly unstable and reactive Sector 16 of Bathfog Ruins back at Phase II is the Eureka Elgium synergist, a key factor to the revolutionary Afterlife Matrix. Bishop's next job.

Joined by a team of the finest squad in Phase II, Bishop sets out for Bathfog Ruins, but when their airship crash-land in the ruins, everything changes. Certain truths are unraveled about the government's scheme, their lives are threatened by unusual beings and Mecha hit men. And when the biggest fact of all is revealed, Bishop realizes he's more valuable than he knows and his real job is staying alive.

But with betrayals, unlikely allies and their lives threatened, staying alive is easier said than done.
