The novel is set in the year 1992, by which humanity has colonized the Moon and psychic powers are common. The protagonist, Joe Chip, is a debt-ridden technician working for Runciter Associates, a “prudence organization” which employs “inertials”, people with the ability to negate the powers of telepaths and “precogs”, to enforce privacy of clients.

The company is run by Glenn Runciter, assisted by his deceased wife Ella, who is kept in a state of “half-life”, a form of cryonic suspension that allows the deceased limited consciousness and ability to communicate. While consulting with Ella, Runciter discovers that her consciousness is being invaded by another half-lifer, Jory Miller.
