Elara returns home to settle her mother’s estate, but the official report lists her death as a fall. The case is closed, and no one wants questions. Inside the house, nothing is normal. Floors hum, lights flicker, and a recorder plays her mother’s voice, calling Elara a subject, not a daughter. Across the city, people lose minutes of their day with no memory, while the corporation controlling the power grid insists everything is fine. Following gaps in the data, Elara discovers a hidden program buried beneath Greybridge. It watches behavior, corrects deviations, and has been active far longer than anyone admits. To uncover the truth about her mother, Elara must decide whether she is solving a mystery or if she has always been part of it.
