A single sip can unlock the human mind. The ultimate upgrade... or the ultimate target. When journalist Ruby Moskewitz sits down for a routine interview with renowned biologist Professor Quincy, she expects a standard piece on brain activity. Instead, he drops a bombshell: he has synthesized a drug that multiplies neural power a thousand-fold-granting flawless recall, staggering foresight, and instant genius. Then, in the time it takes Ruby to pick up a pizza, Quincy vanishes. Whisked away by a shadows-and-suits government agency desperate to control the ultimate geopolitical asset, Quincy leaves behind only a trail of paranoia and a stolen hand-sanitizer bottle filled with the world's most dangerous substance. Determined to break the story before she's silenced, Ruby takes a gamble: she doses herself. Now armed with hyper-clocked intellect, a slick PR handler who can't be trusted, and a missing scientist on the run with a stolen firearm, Ruby must outsmart a state-level manhunt. But when a mind operates at a thousand times normal speed, it's only a matter of time before paranoia-or something worse-catches up to you.
