In a divided America teetering on the brink of chaos, college students Jake Miller-Senator Randy Miller's nephew-and tech whiz Henry Chang race to expose a private intelligence firm bent on toppling democracy. They join forces with student activist Sienna Larson to uncover a vicious deepfake campaign targeting the senator and her Fair Elections movement.
The fight turns personal when Jake's Drone Pilot sister Molly is accused of taking a military bribe in a deepfake video, Sienna's parents' bakery is destroyed, and Henry is kidnapped.
Sienna and Jake find themselves in a high-stakes break-in at a Silicon Valley server farm, stealing the data that will unravel a vast conspiracy.
From the claustrophobic tension of a campus war room to a border patrol battlefield to the marble halls of the U.S. Senate, this pulse-pounding thriller weaves cutting-edge cyber-intrigue with raw family loyalty. When every byte of evidence can be doctored and every alliance questioned, who can you trust? Only one thing is certain: the future of fair elections-and the safety of those they love-depends on unmasking the lies before it's too late.
For fans of Homeland, The Recruit, and The Circle, this is a relentless ride from the first hack to the final hearing, where justice and democracy hang in the balance.
