Summary
Joe Carpenter is the protagonist of the tale, having lost his wife and two kids in an aircraft disaster the previous year. Joe has never really recovered from their deaths, and on the one-year anniversary, he encounters a strange lady named Rose, who claims to be a survivor of the accident despite the fact that none were recorded.
Rose says she'll tell Joe the truth, but not yet. Finally admitting that the crash narrative never made sense to him, Joe continues his search for information about what actually happened that night, learning that others may be interested in stopping him even if it meant sacrificing his life.
There have been a great number of suicides among the families of the accident victims, which leads Joe to believe that Rose is somehow convincing them to commit suicide by showing them an image of a cemetery.
This leads him to a development involving his deceased daughter and a laboratory produced girl, CCY 21–21, with healing skills that resemble his daughter and want to live the life she was unable to enjoy.
This girl has the ability to heal and provide hope to everybody she comes into contact with. Her sole flaw is that she cannot cure herself if she is injured.
Rose had been protecting this girl until her healing abilities and full potential evolved until Rose was shot by agents aiming to murder her and the kid.
SSW-89-58, another experiment, has the ability to telepathically perceive and know things by gazing at photos of areas, as well as manipulating the minds of living organisms in that region.
As it turns out, the plane accident was part of a plot to assassinate Rose since she had smuggled CCY 21–21 out of the complex. SSW-89-58 was obliged to take control of the pilot in order to murder everyone on board.
The plane crashed, but the girl and Rose managed to escape and are now on the run. Joe escapes with Nina and goes underground towards the end of the story (CCY 21-21). Rose was shot and perishes in the last storm.
