'Grace Walker creates an uncanny world so rich and all-encompassing that it's hard to believe
it's not real ... it's clear that Walker poured her all into this future classic of the genre
.' Jodie Matthews author of Meet Me at the Surface Once the process begins there can be
no going back we will always be together... Laurie is sixty-five and living with
Alzheimer's. Her daughter Amelia a once fiery and strong-willed activist can't bear to see
her mother's mind fade. Faced with the reality of losing her forever Amelia signs them up to
take part in the world's first experimental merging process for Alzheimer's patients in which
Laurie's ailing mind will be transferred into Amelia's healthy body and their consciousness
will be blended as one. Soon Amelia and Laurie join the opaque and mysterious group of other
merge participants: teenage Lucas who plans to merge with his terminally ill brother Noah Ben
who will merge with his pregnant fiancée Annie and Jay whose merging partner is his addict
daughter Lara. As they prepare to move to The Village a luxurious rehabilitation centre for
those who have merged they quickly begin to question whether everything is really as it seems.
