In a dangerously overcrowded near future, where corporations rival governments and information is weaponized, Norman Niblock House is rising fast within General Technics—one of the most powerful companies on Earth. Behind the scenes, his work is helping to orchestrate a bold and controversial move: the corporate takeover of a small African nation, a maneuver that could reshape global power overnight. But in a world this volatile, ambition comes with consequences.

Sharing his apartment is Donald Hogan, an unassuming and socially awkward researcher who seems to exist on the fringes of everything. In reality, Hogan is a covert government agent, drawn into a web of secrets surrounding a breakthrough in genetic engineering—one so dangerous it could alter the future of humanity itself. As he digs deeper, he realizes the discovery has already attracted the attention of forces willing to silence anyone who gets too close.

As corporate ambition, political maneuvering, and scientific revolution collide, the lines between ally and enemy begin to blur. In a world saturated with noise and misinformation, the truth is the most dangerous thing of all—and uncovering it may come at the ultimate cost.
