A massively powerful artificial intelligence called Archos is created & cannot be contained. Humanity has no idea when it starts to silently take over our cars, power grids, aircraft guidance systems & computer networks
- the entire global system that runs our lives. In those early months, only a handful of technological glitches are noticed by humans across the globe. Laura Perez, US congresswoman, senses a menacing new awareness in her daughter's 'smart' doll; Paul Blanton, an American soldier stationed in Afghanistan, witnesses the violent meltdown of a military pacification unit, Takeo Nomura, a lonely inventor, is victimized by his robot companion & a hacker in London unwittingly accesses a hidden network & comes face to face with a merciless digital identity. Later known as Zero hour, the robot war suddenly ignites, humankind is both decimated & for the first time in history, united.

Growing up in a small seaside town, Marcie Brooks dreams of owning a Mary Quant mini-skirt, the Beatles, & escape. Instead she's stuck in a dead-end job selling candy floss to tourists & with a crazy family. Her grandmother sees ghosts, her step-mother is unable to control her growing family & Marcie's father is usually in & out of prison or away 'working' for East End gangsters. Despite it all, Marcie adores her father, but Tony's light fingers & hard man reputation mean most people give the Brooks family a wide birth.
