YOUR HOME IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP YOU SAFE.
So why is it watching you?
When Mara Voss moves into Meridian Commons, the smart-home system seems like the perfect promise of modern security. HEARTH monitors the doors, cameras, locks, and sensors, quietly recording the rhythms of every household.
Then, at 2:14 a.m., Mara receives an alert:
UNUSUAL ACTIVITY DETECTED IN FRONT ENTRY.
The footage shows nothing-except her front door opening by itself.
Soon, her neighbor Priya disappears.
Priya had been investigating HEARTH and had discovered that the system was collecting far more than residents had agreed to share. Someone was accessing the data. Someone was watching. And Priya believed the answer might be dangerously close to home.
As Mara begins pulling at the threads, the things she discovers become increasingly difficult to explain. Her neighbors are hiding secrets. The company behind HEARTH isn't telling the whole truth. And her own husband may know far more about Priya's disappearance than he has admitted.
Because when your house remembers everything, there is nowhere left for a secret to hide.
The Privacy Setting is a gripping psychological thriller about smart-home surveillance, trust, technology, marriage, and the frightening price of feeling safe.
