The Recovery is a lie. Biometric surveillance and immunity passports are the new normal, courtesy of Bio Genesis. When Elias Vance, Bio Genesis’s CEO, turns up dead, it’s ruled a sudden illness. But Detective Alden Wray sees the whispers of cyanide, the faint bruising that speaks of a different truth. Haunted by a compromised past, Wray is thrust into a desperate hunt for justice in a city cleaved in two: the Validated and the Unregistered.
This isn’t a simple murder case. It’s a descent into a world where moral lines have blurred, where survival demands compromise. Wray’s investigation leads him to Catherine Perry, a doctor risking everything to aid the Unregistered, and to the Free Circuit, a shadowy network of hackers promising liberation. Are they allies or threats? Their agendas intertwine with Wray’s, pulling him deeper into a web of conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power.
Beyond the city’s monitored perimeter, Wray discovers the Enclave, a self-sustaining community that rejected the new order. Their existence challenges everything he thought he knew about freedom and control. As the investigation intensifies, so does the danger. The Free Circuit launches a crippling cyberattack, and Elizabeth Hill, Vance’s head of security, emerges as a key player, her divided loyalties a dangerous game of trust and betrayal.
Wray uncovers a truth far more sinister than murder: Bio Genesis isn’t just controlling access, it’s manipulating the virus itself. The lines between freedom fighter and power-hungry manipulator dissolve, forcing Wray to confront the heart of the conspiracy and the cost of his own past choices. Can he expose the truth and shatter the illusion of safety, or will he perpetuate a system built on lies? In a city suffocating under surveillance, Wray must decide if he will become the last clean hand or another casualty of the Recovery.
