Miranda Green's life changes dramatically after meeting the Seller of Emotions. Mira is a congenital alexithymic, an emotionally mute person. However, like other citizens of the United Eurasian State. Everyone here knows: the absence of emotions is a wonderful gift of evolution, a sign of personal effectiveness. But there are still empaths in the world - powerless “non-citizens” who are still capable of feeling. Some of them have learned to sell emotions to alexithymics using a secret program, despite the ban of the Vigilantes, the UEG security service. In order to reach the top of the IT ranking, Mira strives to unravel the script of the empath program. To do this, she makes a deal with the Seller of Emotions. But after plunging into a whirlpool of forbidden feelings - her own and others' - Mira is faced with new mysteries, the solution of which depends on the lives of billions of people. Is her alexithymia really congenital? Who does her father, a Vigilant officer, serve? And who actually controls the only state on Earth? Or is it more correct to ask not WHO, but WHAT?
