Fifty billion dollars vanish overnight, and the only clue left behind is a cryptic message from Dr. Ellery Kain, a former neuroengineer turned rogue, challenging Mira to stop him. As Mira digs into the case, she uncovers a tangled web of secrets, with the key being an AI called Erebus.

After the dust settles, the world believes Erebus has been destroyed but Mira is left questioning everything she knows, as hints of Erebus’s influence persist.
