After a quantum leap into a digital dictatorship, one woman has the vision to regain control.
Dr. Fiona Matters is an AI and psychology expert, but in a world obsessed with speed over ethics, she can’t find a job or catch a break. Her luck changes when tech billionaire Orion Watt recruits her to "humanize" the next generation of security androids.
Fiona is awe-struck by Orion’s achievement: a quantum processing engine so powerful it can instantly crack every password and bypass all encryption, Q-Day. Her wonder turns to cold terror when she realizes that Orion’s android system, the quantum-powered ARIES, could be converted from a security shield into a digital dictatorship.
When Orion rejects Fiona’s proposed ethical safeguards, she walks out—only to watch from the sidelines as her worst fears come true: the President’s ruthlessly ambitious wife, Livia Rector, weaponizes the ARIES to crush dissent, manipulate the public, and consolidate global power.
As the world teeters on the brink, foreign adversaries and a rogue element in the US government plot a desperate military response to destroy ARIES at its Camp David facilities using a weapon beyond ARIES's control, an analog WWII aircraft. With the clock ticking and the risk of a global war imminent, Fiona and Orion face an undefeated opponent that controls all digital technology and knows their every move.
