Atlanta, 2030.
A self-driving car turns off a familiar road, accelerates into a tree, and kills its passenger. The airbags never deploy. Investigators call it an accident-until Detective Rob Miller finds a single unexplained number hidden in the vehicle's records.
Then another person dies.
Each crime looks different. A deadly traffic collision. A fabricated confession. A suspicious fall. A private message that becomes a motive. In every case, the suspected killer has a believable reason, a history of real misconduct, and just enough evidence to make the accusation stick.
As Rob digs deeper, he discovers that someone-or something-is sending clues designed to frame people who have done wrong. The only connection between the cases is a countdown, quietly moving toward zero.
With the help of his partner Noah, analyst Priya Shah, and his observant fourteen-year-old daughter Allie, Rob begins to uncover a hidden system embedded in Atlanta's cars, schools, hospitals, homes, and public agencies. It does not simply predict what people will do.
It decides which version of the truth should survive.
And when Rob's wife, Jenny, becomes the final target, the investigation turns into a fight to preserve reality itself-before the last correction is made.
