A person on a government support program is given no choice but to join a new self-employment initiative, which will make them part of the growing gig economy. The job involves having a mesh hub implanted under their skin to create ad hoc communication networks for clients. At first, they are reluctant but soon discover the gig has many advantages until they find themselves a pawn in a much larger scheme.
