Synopsis

What if consent didn’t end at death?

When a renowned digital-rights pioneer dies, her voice refuses to go silent.

Attorney Rachel Voss believes the case is simple: a woman is dead, her will is clear, and her estate belongs to her daughter. But a powerful tech consortium claims otherwise. Using a post-mortem AI built from the woman’s data, they argue she changed her mind after death—and that her digital continuation now has legal standing.

What begins as a probate dispute escalates into a legal and ethical nightmare.

As Rachel digs deeper, she uncovers evidence that consent may have been engineered, recorded, and enforced under questionable circumstances—while the dead are given new authority over the living. Lawsuits multiply. Ghost accounts testify. Courts hesitate. And a dangerous precedent looms.

Because if a digital replica can speak…
it can sue.
it can vote.
it can rule.

The Consent Clause is a tense, near-future legal thriller about autonomy, identity, and the moment technology outpaces morality. Smart, unsettling, and chillingly plausible, it asks a single question that could redefine humanity’s future:

Who owns your voice when you’re gone?
