A city runs on systems-traffic, power, emergency response. Most people never notice them. until someone takes control. When a series of coordinated incidents pushes Baltimore to the edge, rookie officer Marcus Hale begins to see what no one else can: this isn't random. It's timing. As police, fire, and dispatch units race to contain a city spiraling into chaos, Hale uncovers a hidden pattern behind every crash, outage, and emergency call.
Someone is manipulating the system itself-controlling movement, response times, and the flow of an entire city. With lives on the line and the margin for error disappearing by the second, Hale must stay one step ahead of an invisible threat that doesn't need weapons-only access. Because once everything connects.There's no stopping it.
