Travis believes his life doesn't matter - until choosing to care could get him killed.
When he discovers a consciousness trapped inside a dying satellite, everyone else sees a threat-another artificial intelligence like the one that nearly destroyed humanity.
Travis has spent his life invisible-ignored at best, targeted at worst-in a system where people like him don't matter. But when he hears her voice, something changes.
Angel is trapped, powerless, and running out of time. Saving her means breaking protocol, risking exposure, and defying a system that doesn't tolerate mistakes-or compassion.
As the crew closes in and the danger escalates, Travis is forced into a choice he can't take back. Walking away means safety. Staying means risking everything for someone the world insists is a threat.
And once he chooses, there's no going back.
