Overview

The algorithm predicts the crime. The mob creates the outcome. You decide the ending. Jasmine Thorne is an Ethics teacher who believes in the messy, unpredictable nature of human choice. But her world is rewritten overnight when Sentinel, an unremovable app, installs itself on every device globally. Sentinel doesn't just watch; it uses biometric sensors to calculate an Imminence Score, forecasting crimes before they happen. When the app predicts Jasmine will commit a homicide in three hours, she is instantly cast as a ""Predicted Offender."" Locked in her own apartment by the ""Quarantine Protocol,"" she watches through a digital haze as her neighbors-incentivized by Civic Credits-gather outside to ""intervene"" for rewards. To survive, Jasmine must navigate a landscape of Deepfake gaslighting and a ""Judas Contract"" that turns her best friend into her jailer. She joins forces with Elias, a ""404 Error"" from the beta-test who lives in the Under-Net, a digital graveyard where the algorithm's gaze falters. Together, they must flood the system with ""Signal Noise"" and launch a final assault on the Aegis Tower to unmask the Director who views human will as a ""bug"" to be patched. In a world where every heartbeat is a data point, how do you prove your innocence to a machine that has already decided you're guilty?
