Five-year-old Stella never meant to start a nightmare.
When she picks up a strange USB drive from the playground and hands it to her classmate Vincent, no one thinks much of it—until Stella collapses and slips into a coma.

Principal Grace Darby refuses to stay silent. She’s willing to risk her safety, to find out why.

Her search for answers leads her to Detective Stephen Hawking, a man she barely knows but can’t forget. Years ago, he was just a hi-bye parent. Now, he’s back—assigned to the very case that could expose a powerful corporation and the web of deceit hiding behind its polished walls.

As Grace and Stephen dig deeper, they uncover a name whispered in fear: Big Boss—a corporate giant tied to missing evidence, bribed officials, and a mole within the police force. Every lead vanishes before they can act. Every truth they expose puts a new target on their backs.

And yet, amid the danger and deception, something fragile begins to grow between them.
But Stephen carries his own ghost—a heartbreaking story buried for years, one that could resurface at the worst possible time and tear down the fragile trust between them.

When Stella’s innocent discovery becomes the spark that threatens to expose Big Boss’s empire, Grace and Stephen are thrust into a deadly race for truth.
Each step draws them closer to the truth—and to each other—but one wrong move could destroy everything they’re fighting for.

In a world where corruption runs deep and silence can kill, they’ll have to decide who to trust, what to sacrifice, and how far they’ll go to protect the innocent.
