La giovane Purity Tyler, detta Pip, non conosce la sua vera identità. Sua madre, per un motivo misterioso, non vuole rivelarle chi è suo padre, l'uomo dal quale è fuggita prima che Pip nascesse, cambiando nome e ritirandosi a vivere nell'anonimato tra i boschi della California settentrionale. Pip è povera: ha un pesante debito studentesco da ripagare e vive in una casa occupata a Oakland, frequentata da un gruppo di anarchici. Ed è proprio lì che incontra Annagret, un'attivista tedesca che le apre le porte di uno stage con il Sunlight Project, l'organizzazione fondata dal famoso e carismatico Andreas Wolf, un leaker rivale di Julian Assange, allo scopo di rivelare i segreti dei potenti. Pip parte per la Bolivia, dove ha sede il Sunlight Project, con la speranza di poter usare la tecnologia degli hacker per svelare il segreto dell'identità di suo padre. Ma l'incontro con Andreas Wolf si rivela sconvolgente per molti motivi. Anche Andreas ha un terribile segreto nascosto nel suo passato, negli anni in cui viveva a Berlino Est come figlio ribelle di una madre squilibrata e di un padre pezzo grosso del Partito Comunista. Lo rivela proprio a Pip, con la quale instaura una relazione intensa e morbosa. Forse i suoi moventi segreti sono legati a Tom Aberant, il giornalista di Denver per il quale Pip andrà a lavorare dopo lo stage con il Sunlight Project, destabilizzando la relazione di Tom con la sua compagna Leila e portando un grande sconvolgimento anche nelle loro vite...
