In a future dominated by corporations and space exploration, expeditions to other planets must receive permission and equipment from the Company. Research teams, for their own safety, are accompanied by Company-provided security androids. However, in a society where the lowest bidder wins the contract, safety is not a primary concern.

On a distant planet, a team of scientists conducts experiments on its surface under the supervision of a Company-provided robot, a self-aware BezoBlock, who has hacked its limiting module and mentally refers to himself as “KillerBot”. Disdainful of people, all he really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out what he really is.

But when the expedition working nearby suddenly disappears, he must get to the bottom of the truth. scientists and their KillerBot will have to.
