When investigative journalist, Maggie Shields, dives into the disappearance of a high-profile missing person in her seaside town, she uncovers a tangled web of corruption, murder, and betrayal stretching back a decade.
Still haunted by an unsolved murder she witnessed as a teenager—one her brother convinced her to stay silent about— Maggie is faced with a painful dilemma. And as she connects the dots between the two cases, Maggie exposes corporate cover-ups, a fatal data breach, and a deadly conspiracy…
With her career and sanity on the line, Maggie turns to an AI therapist for support—only to question whether the AI is helping her or being used to sabotage her investigation. Battling threats, paranoia, and fractured trust, Maggie must confront her past and unravel the truth before it’s too late.
Will she bring justice to light—or fall victim to the shadows?
