About The Series

  

When federal employee Daphne Carter flags suspicious loan applications, she unwittingly uncovers an international money laundering network tied to human trafficking, federal cover-ups, and a decades-old murder someone will do anything to keep buried.


The victim was another public servant, and Daphne suspects they were killed trying to expose the same network. Now, as executive orders strip union protections and mass firings loom, Daphne faces the same impossible choice: stay silent and complicit or speak out and risk becoming the next casualty.


In a system designed to silence the truth and the union, Daphne must decide how much she's willing to risk — and how far she'll go to expose it before her voice is silenced too.


A Thriller Inspired by True Events.
