"Counterweight hangs in the center of the Golden Branch star sector, a forked path where the Perseus and Sagittarius arms of the Milky Way come together. Because of its location, life on this planet of billions brims with energy, and an exchange of cultures has led to an exchange of technologies. Automated robots valet vehicles, starships launch in the distance at regular intervals, holographic pop idols perform for holographic crowds. Giant humanoid mechs aid in tasks civil, commercial, and military, and sometimes you look up to them and think: We could have made them look like anything, but we made them look like us."
Desperate for money after burning one too many bridges with the local crime syndicate, Nicholas D. Wolfwood takes on an unusual and suspicious job on behalf of the mysterious corporation known as Sandtrak Synergies: bodyguarding the wanted hacktivist known as Vash the Stampede.
