Two women confront the unleashing of a terrifying new technology–inside one of their own minds. NIGHTINGALE IN A MUSIC BOX is a prison escape movie for the 21st century. The prison is no longer made out of concrete and steel but out of the thoughts of the prisoner’s own mind. When Robin McAlister is arrested trying to steal a new life-form invented to colonize the human brain and control people’s memories, she claims to have no memory herself. Agent Burke arrives to deal with the menace of a technology that could change what it means to be human. She must pick her way through Robin’s mind, figuring out what is real and what has been manufactured from the outside. Burke realizes the stakes are high: How easily can our mind be taken away from us? How quickly can our identity be changed? But she has no time to dwell on these questions as she fights to keep a dangerous new weapon from being released into the world.
