Zero Day

Carlie Conway thrives in the high-stakes world of Chicago finance, a quantitative analyst whose supercomputer mind calculates every move with chilling precision and zero empathy. But when meticulously crafted financial models start spitting out anomalies-first glitches, then sabotage-Carlie's carefully constructed reality begins to fray. Someone is playing a new, insidious game, and she's the target.

As cryptic messages from her past infiltrate secure channels and colleagues' words twist her memories, Carlie suspects a sophisticated gaslighting campaign designed to dismantle her sanity and career. Yet, the attacks are too precise, exploiting her unique cognitive processes with terrifying accuracy. Is her mind truly failing, or is her own perception being weaponized against her?

The line between predator and prey blurs as Carlie, relying solely on her formidable intellect, navigates a labyrinth of doubt. Every ally becomes a suspect, every memory unreliable. The stakes escalate beyond corporate secrets, threatening to expose the very foundations of her carefully constructed world.

To untangle what's real from what's manufactured, Carlie must confront a terrifying possibility: the threat is deeply personal, rooted in her own identity. Can she out manoeuvre an adversary who knows her better than she knows herself, or will the 'Zero Day Contagion' shatter everything she thought she knew?
