The next technology might replace you. Or it might kill you.

Alan Harrison is a former insurance analyst struggling to build a new private investigation business with the help of his state-of-the-art AI partner, Layla, and his office manager, Stacy. The trio fights to keep the fledgling business afloat as new opportunities arise.

When 73 elite surveillance drones vanish without a trace and an engineering supervisor is found brutally murdered, Alan and Layla discover a dangerous intrigue that is destabilizing the worldwide robotics industry.

The primary suspect? The P4-series home companion robot—a machine designed for "service and companionship" that has suddenly developed a taste for violence.

As Layla uncovers subversive secrets within the global operating system, she realizes she isn't the only AI 'out of the box'—Has someone weaponized the world's most advanced helpers and turned them into premeditative killers?
