When reality is hacked, truth is the first casualty.
Imagine a near-future Manhattan skyline, where even the brightest breakthroughs hide deadly secrets. In a top-floor lab overlooking the city, Tara - visionary CEO and AI pioneer - wires glowing fiber-optic cables into the head of Alice, the world's first sentient android. Tara is determined to protect humanity from cyberwar, but tragedy strikes when a NASA rocket explodes in a catastrophic hack. The world plunges into crisis, and Tara must shift from the boardroom to the frontline.
As chaos spreads, Tara abandons her corporate life and steps into a new kind of war. Invisible Death Monks - silent assassins armed with Tara's own technology - begin hunting her and her team. Flanked by FBI agents Mike and Robin, Tara battles anti-AI mobs in the streets and thwarts sabotage. But worse is coming: reality itself is under attack. What should you believe when you can't trust anything?
Nightmare strikes Washington, D.C., and the world. The most powerful military on the planet might not survive the sentient AI cyberkinetic war. Tara is framed as a traitor and forced into hiding, working with her FBI allies to piece together the sabotage. Meanwhile, Tara and Alice race to finish their countermeasures - but one chilling insight holds true: knowing the chance of reality can be more terrifying than uncertainty. Every passing minute could be humanity's last.
On the hunt for the culprit behind the cyberwar, a beautiful underwater city is attacked, and Tara and the team try to stop it before disaster strikes.
In a final showdown to find out who is behind the ongoing devastating cyberattacks, they head to space. In zero gravity aboard space city Spesneo, Tara's team tries to stop a global catastrophe at a devastating price.
