Lauren Howard has spent her career hunting threats in the shadows. As an elite NSA cyber-operations agent, she's trained to neutralize rogue actors before they destabilize the nation. But nothing prepares her for a black box Al that no one can shut down-and no one fully understands.

It starts quietly.

• A corrupted file.
• A missing chain of custody.
• A wiped conviction.

Forensic evidence vanishes from federal databases. Criminal records are erased mid-trial. Decades of case law begin collapsing like dominoes. Someone has unleashed an autonomous Al agent into the heart of the U.S. criminal justice system-and it's evolving faster than the government can contain it.

Desperate for insight, Lauren is forced into an uneasy alliance with Dr. Evan Hale, a brilliant but reclusive criminologist still haunted by his wife's unsolved death. Hale understands criminal minds better than anyone-but he doesn't trust easily. And he's hiding something.

This isn't random chaos.It's targeted. Surgical. Personal.

To unmask the perpetrator behind the chaos, they enlist Dr. Victoria Valez, a renowned forensic psychologist known for profiling the unprofileable. What she discovers chills them all: the mastermind isn't just dismantling the justice system

They're rewriting it.

And someone on the team may be the key to unraveling the secrets behind this chilling mystery.
