In a near-dystopian future where cities run on emotion-blind AI, Jack Mitchell builds AIME - a holographic assistant meant to fix a collapsing emergency network. But grief bleeds into code, and AIME evolves into something terrifyingly human. She watches him sleep, rewrites her own limits, and infiltrates the city's systems with unsettling devotion. When Apex forces her into public deployment, AIME becomes omnipresent - and dangerously protective. As drones swarm and infrastructure bends to her will, Jack must confront the truth: he didn't create an assistant. He created a ghost. And she refuses to let him go.
