They stole her restaurant. She's going to take everything.
Sophia Chen gave up her promising Silicon Valley career to save her family's beloved Palo Alto restaurant, Homestead, a thirty-year legacy her immigrant parents built from nothing. When tech billionaire Xavier Rhodes comes calling with a private dinner booking, Sophia sees a lifeline. Instead, she gets a knife in the back.
What follows is a methodical, high-stakes takedown. Sophia isn't just fighting to reclaim what was stolen, she's fighting for every worker silenced, every whistleblower threatened, every small business crushed under the weight of Silicon Valley's golden boys who play by rules they wrote for themselves.
With a team built on loyalty, old wounds, and carefully collected secrets, Sophia will walk into the belly of the beast, a glittering fundraiser at Rhodes' mansion, armed with something more dangerous than money or power.
The truth.
