Elena Rosales is a fighter. A kindergarten teacher and single mother, she's used to managing chaos. But when a sudden collapse leads to a diagnosis of aggressive lymphoma, her world shrinks to a single lifeline: a miracle immunotherapy drug called Cell-X.
But the miracle is short-lived. Her insurance giant, Praesidium Health, issues a cold, two-word response: DENIED.
Elena wasn't judged by a doctor. She was filtered by The Sieve, a ruthless AI algorithm designed to prioritize corporate profit over human lives.
Enter Jack The Hammer Halloway. A rumpled, strip-mall lawyer with a reputation for being a mechanic for broken lives, Jack has his own score to settle with the insurance industry. When he sees Elena's Code 99-Z denial, he recognizes the same ghost code that killed his father years ago.
To save Elena, Jack must go to war against a multi-billion-dollar machine that doesn't just play hardball-it plays for keeps. From corporate boardrooms to high-stakes federal courtrooms, Jack and Elena must expose the Black Box before the clock runs out on her life.
In the digital age, your life isn't in your doctor's hands. It's in the algorithm.
