WHERE GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION MEETS A COLD CASE MURDER MYSTERY
About The Series
When a federal employee flags suspicious loan applications, she thinks she’s just doing her job. Instead, she 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—killed trying to expose the same network. Now, as executive orders strip federal workers of their protections and the administration threatens mass firings, she faces the same impossible choice: stay silent and complicit, or speak out and risk becoming the next casualty.
In a system where whistleblowers are silenced—or worse—she must decide how far she’ll go to reveal the truth.
Inspired by true events.
