The time is roughly the present, and the U.S. is part of the Vast Machine, a society overseen by the Tabula, a secret organization bent on establishing a perfectly controlled populace. Alled against the Tabula are the Travelers and their sword-carrying protectors, the Harlequins. The Traverlers, now almost extinct, can project their spirit into other worlds where they receive wisdom to bring back to earth -- wisdom that threatens the Tabula's power. Maya, a reluctant Harlequin, finds herself compelled to protect two naive Travelers, Michael and Gabriel Corrigan. Michael dabbles in shady real estate deals, while Gabriel prefers to live "off the Grid," eschewing any documentation -- credit cards, bank accounts -- that the Vast Machine could use to track him. Because the Tabula has engineered a way to use the Travelers for its own purposes, Maya must not only keep the brothers alive, but out of the hands of these evil puppet-masters. She succeeds, but she also fails, and therein lies the tale.
