When words are the ultimate currency, silence can be lethal. In the not-too-distant future, humanity's ability to communicate has fractured, creating a labyrinth of professional jargons so dense that only specialists like William Kirst, Private Interpreter, can unravel them. Kirst is a linchpin in a society where understanding is a luxury, and secrets are the norm.
