Code of Malice

In the fictional nation of the United Commonwealth, a fatal police shooting of an unarmed Latino youth in Esperanza City ignites public fury. But behind the protests, a darker secret emerges: an encrypted wallet containing $2 million in untraceable cryptocurrency, linked to the dead man. As a guilt-ridden officer, the victim's vengeful sister, and a nihilistic hacker form a pact to claim the money, their alliance curdles into a brutal game of greed. Technology conceals every crime they commit, yet it also amplifies and exposes the raw, visceral malice lurking beneath their former intimacy. In this modern noir, the blockchain becomes a ledger not just of wealth, but of blood.
