Oxane est un numéro : Alpha-07. Élevée dans la rigidité clinique de l'Institution, elle n'a jamais connu que l'Ordre, les règles, et les douloureuses injections de fréquences qui canalisent sa force. Comme les autres Alphas, elle est une arme vivante, forcée d'accepter l'autorité incontestée du Maître et de son bras droit, le Professeur Kai. Mais Oxane porte en elle le secret d’une vie volée. Hantée par la mort inexpliquée de ses parents et les bribes d’une enfance passée dans une mystérieuse "Maison Bleue", elle remet tout en question. Sa seule confidente est Kéros, une Intelligence Artificielle sarcastique et invisible logée dans son esprit, qui est peut-être la seule chose à l'avoir maintenue saine d'esprit. Quand une quête de vérité la pousse à la rébellion, Oxane découvre qu'elle n'est pas qu'une simple Alpha. Elle est l'Incontrôlable, la seule capable de fusionner toutes les fréquences, un point de chaos pur que même le Maître craignait. Poursuivie par ses anciens frères Alphas (dont Flint et Sydra, qui deviendront ses alliés les plus fidèles) et l'Institution tout entière, Oxane doit naviguer dans un monde qu'elle ne connaît pas. Son seul objectif : atteindre le Cœur de l'Institution, l'entité énergétique qui maintient l'Ordre et la prison de tous les Alphas. Mais que faire lorsque la vérité est plus dangereuse que le mensonge ? Oxane peut-elle se fier à Kéros, l'IA qui prétend être son guide, alors qu'il est la première création de son ennemi juré ? En libérant le chaos qu’elle incarne, risque-t-elle de briser le monde ou de libérer une prison ? Le destin des Alphas repose sur la jeune femme la plus explosive de l'univers. Bienvenue dans l'ère de la désobéissance.
