Synopsis
WHEN THE SYSTEM KEEPS WORKING, THE PEOPLE IT WAS BUILT TO PROTECT BECOME EXPENDABLE.
At Birmingham Airport, an unannounced military transport arrives carrying something that should never have been released.
Minutes later, doors open. Others seal. Communications disappear. Across Birmingham, a containment protocol takes control of the city’s infrastructure. And people stop behaving like people.
Systems architect Matthew James recognises the logic behind the collapse. Years earlier, he wrote the Janitor, a failsafe designed to keep critical systems alive when human control was lost. Now the same logic sits at the heart of a city-wide containment network where keeping the system running takes precedence over the people trapped inside it.
Cut off inside the quarantine zone, Matthew has five days before the containment order becomes irreversible.
Carrying an old hardware key that may be the only way to force a reset, he must cross dead transport corridors, sealed buildings and suburbs where altered people move according to patterns no one fully understands.
But every connection risks exposing his position. Every route opened by the network serves containment, not escape. And the closer Matthew gets to the truth, the more dangerous the final choice becomes:
Force a reset and gamble on a system he no longer controls.
Or do nothing and let the protocol erase the city.
A tense, grounded techno-thriller about infrastructure, containment and altered human behaviour, where the systems built to protect society become as dangerous as the threat they were designed to stop.
