Silent Circuit

In the rain-soaked city of Veridia, a former coal executive turned recluse dies alone in his penthouse—not from a bullet, but from a perfectly timed cascade of electrical surges and water-pressure failures that mimic a freak accident. Investigative journalist Mira Kern uncovers a pattern: three deaths, all tied to the same defunct mining conglomerate, all orchestrated through remote SCADA overrides. As she digs deeper, she enters a digital chess match against a faceless collective known as "The Jury," who believe anonymity grants them godlike power to execute corporate sinners without leaving a physical trace. But when the hackers turn their gaze on Mira, she must decide whether to expose them or join their silent war.
